Arthritis is one of the most common causes of joint pain and disability across all age groups, especially among older adults. It isn’t just one disease — the term covers over 100 types of joint-related conditions, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis being the most common.
Arthritis can severely impact daily life, making simple movements like walking, climbing stairs, or even opening a jar painful and difficult. At Ishkriti Physiocare, we believe that movement is medicine. Through personalized physiotherapy, many people with arthritis regain mobility, reduce pain, and improve their quality of life.
Common Symptoms of Arthritis
- Persistent joint pain and swelling
- Stiffness, especially in the morning or after inactivity
- Reduced range of motion
- Warmth or redness around joints
- Weakness in muscles around affected joints
Early intervention is key. The sooner arthritis is addressed, the better the chances of slowing its progression and maintaining joint function.
How Physiotherapy Helps Manage Arthritis
- Pain Relief Techniques
Physiotherapists use methods like soft tissue mobilization, ultrasound therapy, or electrical stimulation to reduce pain and inflammation around affected joints.
- Tailored Exercise Programs
Customized strengthening and flexibility exercises improve joint stability and maintain or increase range of motion. Gentle movements guided by a physiotherapist help prevent stiffness.
- Posture and Movement Correction
Often, arthritis pain is worsened by improper movement patterns. Physiotherapy trains your body to move efficiently, reducing stress on affected joints.
- Assistive Advice
If needed, we guide you on braces, supports, or ergonomic changes at home and work to protect your joints.
- Lifestyle Education
We provide advice on weight management, activity modification, and pacing strategies — essential for reducing stress on the joints and managing fatigue.
