HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP RELIEVE ARTHRITIS? While there is not yet a known cure for arthritis, we know that improving your joint movement, muscle strength, balance, and coordination help reduce your pain and improve your function. At MDM Physical Therapy, we will start with an evaluation and a functional movement assessment to identify all the factors that may be contributing to your pain. This will consist of a thorough history to understand more about your typical daily schedule and the everyday demands on your body. We want to get an idea of your overall health status, including factors contributing to your condition. We will use this information to develop a comprehensive program that includes targeted manual techniques, mobility work, strengthening, and appropriate pain relief techniques. We will then incorporate activity-specific treatments with balance and coordination training to ensure your safe return to doing what you love! CALL TODAY FOR AN APPOINTMENT If you or a loved one is suffering from arthritis, contact MDM Physical Therapy today. We will get you started on a treatment plan that will help restore your mobility, comfort, and quality of life!
