The good news is that physical therapy is one of the most effective treatments for arthritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Benefits of Physical Therapy for Managing Arthritis Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two of the most common forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Osteoarthritis occurs because of wear and tear on the joints over time. Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory, autoimmune disease that occurs because the immune system attacks the joint lining.&nbsp;Physical therapy can reduce joint pain, improve mobility, and help to prevent further damage to the joints. Using individualized exercises, physical therapists help people manage their condition and reduce discomfort. Physical therapists often combine advice on lifestyle modifications with exercise to maximize improvement. Let&#8217;s look at the types of exercise your physical therapist may include in your treatment plan to help manage arthritis symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RANGE OF MOTION EXERCISES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These&nbsp;exercises gently&nbsp;move affected joints through their entire range of motion.<sup>2 <\/sup>This can help reduce stiffness and improve mobility. Examples would include gentle stretching, tai chi, or gentle yoga.<sup>2,3<\/sup><sub><\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AEROBIC EXERCISE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performing aerobic exercise creates repeated motion which helps move the synovial fluid in the joints. Moving synovial fluid increases blood flow and releases endorphins which reduce pain. Aerobic exercise also helps to control weight. Weight loss&nbsp;is proven&nbsp;to reduce the stress on your joints, which can reduce pain.<sup>3-5<\/sup> Aerobic exercise for people with arthritis should be low-impact which includes walking, cycling, or swimming.<sup>2<\/sup><sub><\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>STRENGTH TRAINING<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strength training is an important part of managing arthritis. It decreases pain and improves strength, and function. Stronger muscles around the affected joints provide better support and protection.<sup>2<\/sup><sub><\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AQUATIC EXERCISE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exercising in a therapeutic pool can be a great way for people with arthritis to get started. The buoyancy of the water helps to relieve some of the body&#8217;s pressure on the joints.<sup>2<\/sup> The water pressure also provides compression on the joints. This offers some stability and pain relief.<sup>2<\/sup> The movement of your body through the water creates resistance for your muscles.<sup>2<\/sup> This allows them to get stronger in a protective environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EDUCATION<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides designing a custom exercise program, a physical therapist will educate people with arthritis on lifestyle modifications to help manage their symptoms.&nbsp;Some suggestions might include weight loss, getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, and managing stress. A physical therapist can also&nbsp;modify&nbsp;daily activities to help protect joints affected by arthritis. This can slow down or prevent the progression of symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Physical therapy is a safe and effective treatment for arthritis.&nbsp;Current clinical guidelines for treating arthritis include strong recommendations for exercise and other physical therapy treatments.<sup>3<\/sup> If you&#8217;re one of the 53 million Americans with arthritis, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveyourlifept.com\/contact\">contact us<\/a> for a free consultation.
