Arthritis can be painful and debilitating but with the help of physiotherapy many people find they can manage their pain and maintain their mobility and independence.
Physiotherapy Helps Reduce Severity of Arthritis
Physiotherapy can help delay the progression of your arthritis, reduce the severity of your symptoms and prevent further problems.
Physiotherapists Tailor Treatment for Specific Arthritis
There are many different types of arthritis and physiotherapists are trained to tailor treatments to your specific condition. Physiotherapy treatment for arthritis may include:
Massage Helps Reduce Arthritic Inflammation
Gentle massage of the muscles around your inflamed joints helps improve blood flow, reduce pain and improve the mobility of the joints.
Physiotherapy Exercises for Arthritis
It’s well known that exercise helps manage both acute and chronic arthritis. But when you’re in pain, exercising can seem overwhelming. A physiotherapist will give you specific exercises that are designed to strengthen the muscles around the joints and ensure your joints move as freely as possible. They will also advise you on how to perform other exercises safely so that you don’t aggravate your arthritis.
Hydrotherapy Helps Arthritis
Your physiotherapist may also suggest hydrotherapy (exercising in warm water). Hydrotherapy is highly beneficial for arthritis as the water cushions the joints from harsh jolts and allows you build strength and flexibility.
Electrotherapy Eases Arthritis Pain
Electrotherapy, including TENS, helps manage arthritis by sending small electrical impulses to certain parts of the body to block pain signals reaching the brain. Electrotherapy also encourages the production of endorphins and you may find it very effective in helping reduce arthritic pain.
Dry Needling for Arthritis
Dry needling is a term used by physiotherapists and other western practitioners. It is similar to acupuncture. Your physiotherapist may use dry needling in conjunction with other treatments to ease your arthritis symptoms.
Physiotherapists are trained to tailor treatment for many types of arthritis. Treatment usually includes massage, electrotherapy and specific exercises. Physiotherapy can help you manage your arthritis, improve your mobility and maintain your independence.
