Breckenridge PT: Helping Arthritis Pain

I absolutely love this place! It’s a family owned business and they’re very attentive to clients needs. They have a great space which includes both physical therapy and personal training. I recently visited for physical therapy to get some help with my IT Band issues. Rashmi really helped me with my injury with acknowledging where my weaknesses were and giving exercises to strengthen and stretches to relieve tightness. Thanks to the Vert family and Rashmi I’m back to running again. I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. - Nicole L

Hike using walking poles to limit the stress on your joints. 2. Choose rolling hills with short descents instead of long ups and downs. 3. Wear footwear with good cushioning. This will help absorb some of the shock, keeping it off your joints. 4. When cycling, pedal with a high cadence, at least 60rpm. In other words, faster with low pressure on the pedals 5. When choosing strength exercises, pick high repetition (20-30 repetitions) and lighter weights.
