Physiotherapy
Pain in the joints may limit physical activities, but continued movement is often beneficial to rehabilitation or slowing the rate of deterioration. Regular exercise helps keep muscles strong and control joint pain and swelling. Physical therapy is used after a medical procedure to build strength back into a weakened joint and the supporting muscles. In addition to the physical benefits, exercise can help relieve stress, improve mood, and reduce anxiety through the release of chemicals called endorphins. For patients suffering from arthritis, keeping a positive state of mind is just as important as maintaining a normal level of physical functioning. |
