Physical Therapy for rheumatoid arthritis
Among the many things our physical therapists can do for you, they’ll work to strengthen the muscles that surround the affected joint, while also improving the range of motion, stabilizing the joint, and relieving any joint pain that may be occurring.
Strengthening exercises prescribed by our physical therapists in Hampton, VA increase the power of the muscles and can also help alleviate pain. If you strengthen the muscles around the affected area, it can relieve stress in the joints and help them absorb shock.
Flexibility exercises help increase movement and restore the joints back to normal pain-free function. A physical therapist may also implement soft tissue mobilization or joint mobilization to help the affected joint(s) move with ease.
Studies have supported that these types of manual therapy are beneficial for those suffering with the effects of rheumatoid arthritis, no matter their age.
