Arthritis causes pain in various joints on the body, particularly in hands, knees, feet, and back. This can cause immense discomfort and pain in patients and symptoms can last a lifetime. While there is no cure for arthritis, there are a variety of arthritis treatments to help patients manage and reduce the pain.
Physiotherapy is one of the most important treatments for arthritis pain. A customized treatment plan can help you resume a normal life both at home and at work. At Physio Art, we can provide physiotherapy as part of your arthritis treatment plan to help treat the pain, manage the pain, and prevent it from progressing. Our physiotherapists can work with you to find a treatment plan that will help you cope with your arthritis pain.
Arthritis is not usually a temporary condition – it’s something that patients have to live with. But arthritis pain doesn’t have to control your life. You can choose to manage your pain with physiotherapy for arthritis.
Arthritis physiotherapy can help:
- Reduce pain and inflammation
- Restore and increase range of motion
- Improve strength and support to the joints
- Provide home exercise programs
- Facilitate a return to work
First, our physiotherapists will perform an assessment to fully understand your pain, your abilities, and your goals. We will focus on your body as a whole instead of just the individual areas of pain to find an arthritis treatment that will benefit you completely. We want to get to know you to understand your individual needs and situation. This way, we can work together to accomplish any goals that you want to achieve.
At Physio Art, we offer a variety of arthritis physiotherapy services to treat your pain. Treatment usually has to extend outside the clinic for all-around care. We can offer advice and education about how to treat your pain independently at home. We can also help you set appropriate and achievable goals to keep you moving and progressing.
We offer a variety of manual therapies and massages to help relieve the stiffness and pain associated with arthritis. We use massage to mobilize and manipulate body tissue in specific areas to help manage arthritis symptoms. We can also recommend mobility aids when required.
Arthritis can often be caused by repetitive strain from various jobs, like lifting, typing, or assembling. Many people suffering from arthritis have to leave their jobs because they are unable to perform the required tasks. One of our goals with physiotherapy is to get you back to working condition. We can use work hardening as a technique when necessary to achieve this, in conjunction with other therapies. Arthritis shouldn’t be your whole life – we will work to get you back to yourself and back to work.
Physio Art can help you return to your highest level of functioning despite your arthritis.
