But Don’t Forget to Visit Gold Coast Physical Therapy, Either!
As musculoskeletal experts, our team of physical therapists can give you the expert guidance you need to address your arthritis symptoms. We offer two main benefits: additional pain management techniques and customized, guided exercise programs. How We Help Manage Pain In addition to showing you self-management options, we offer several pain management approaches in our clinic. Manual therapy techniques, such as joint mobilizations or soft tissue manipulation, help reduce pain, promote blood circulation, and improve mobility restrictions. We often kick off sessions with a round of manual therapy to help prepare your body for exercise. Depending on your needs, we might also suggest other pain- relieving modalities, such as ultrasound therapy or electrical stimulation. How We Help You Exercise Smarter When managing arthritis pain, pretty much any low-impact exercise will do wonders. However, targeted exercise also plays an important role in addressing pain. For example, mobility exercises will help improve your joint’s range of motion, making movement easier overall. Targeted strength training focuses on improving the strength of the muscles surrounding your impacted joint, which helps support and stabilize it, helping to minimize pain. We can also help you get started with a general exercise program. If you’ve been inactive for a while, starting slowly is essential to
avoiding injury. We can provide suggested exercises and durations based on your health history and activity level. Finally, if your arthritis is in a weight-bearing joint (such as your hip or knee), it’s important that you improve your balance to minimize your fall risk — and we can help with that, too! Call Us Today No matter your specific needs, Gold Coast Physical Therapy is here to help you manage your arthritis symptoms.
