Arthritis and Physiotherapy
Regardless of the cause of arthritis, physiotherapy serves a purpose in most cases. Often, severe arthritis may require medication, hot and cold therapy or even surgery. While maintaining a healthy weight, exercise and a good diet help, medical intervention may eventually be needed. During physiotherapy, the individual is trained to reach maximum mobility. They may also undergo exercises that reduce the pressure on arthritic spots. If a patient has undergone surgery, Post-Op physiotherapy can help them reclaim their mobility—as well as their lifestyle. If you or a loved one suffers from arthritis, you still have options. Contact our clinic today, and ask to speak with one of our health care professionals about ongoing physiotherapy or other treatments we offer that can restore mobility, comfort and quality of life.
