This condition is made worse by a tightening of the tissue of the joint, loss of muscle strength supporting the joint and altered movement because of range of motion problems.
Physical therapy is one of the most important treatments for arthritis and makes a significant impact in your joint health. While arthritis can slow you, it doesn’t have to. If you are suffering with arthritis, PT can change your life.
In physical therapy we focus on the following:
Restoring natural pain free range of motion in your joints
Improving muscular support and strength around your joints
Enhancing joint balance and function
Teaching you what to do to protect your joints from further damage
