Understanding the concern
About Arthritis concerns
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and often affects the knees, hips, hands and spine. Stiffness, aching and reduced movement can make walking, stairs and daily tasks harder, especially after rest.
Arthritis physical therapy focuses on keeping joints moving, strengthening the muscles that support them and finding activity levels that feel manageable. Bracing, orthotics, TENS and hands on care may also help with comfort.
Common experiences
- Stiffness first thing in the morning or after sitting
- Aching with walking, stairs or gripping
