Osteoporosis & Arthritis
Physical therapy can significantly help decrease the symptoms of pain, swelling, and limited range of motion associated with arthritis.
Often improvement in muscle flexibility, joint range of motion, and body mechanics can allow patients to return to normal activities.
Osteoporosis patients can benefit from physical therapy as it can help improve overall bone health, keep bones healthy, and help patients avoid fractures.
Treatment for arthritis and osteoporosis may include manual therapy and massage to painful areas, strengthening and stretching, specific exercises to build bone or decrease the amount of bone loss, and neuromuscular tips for preventing arthritis flare ups.

- Rheumatoid arthritis
