Physical Therapy for Arthritis

Physical therapy for arthritis focuses on reducing pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall function. A licensed physical therapist designs individualized exercise programs that strengthen muscles around the joints, increase flexibility, and improve balance. Therapies may include stretching, low-impact aerobic exercises, and techniques for joint protection. Education on managing symptoms in daily activities and using assistive devices is also provided. The goal is to help individuals maintain an active lifestyle while minimizing discomfort, ultimately improving their quality of life. Regular sessions can help manage arthritis symptoms effectively over time.
