Are you experiencing pain, swelling and limited motion in your joints? These are few symptoms that you have arthritis. Treatment begins after diagnosis by your physician, who may prescribe medicine to help ease your symptoms. As part of a comprehensive treatment plan for arthritis, your physician may also recommend physiotherapy in Ealing, which can provide support in your recovery.
Generally, it’s recommended for arthritis patients to start undergoing physiotherapy as early as possible in order to reduce the risk of permanent loss of use of your joints.
Your physiotherapist will tailor your treatment program to your specific needs. Whether your arthritis is widespread or confined to a particular area of your body, physiotherapy aims to prevent the loss of use of your joints, restore any movement that may have been lost, and maintain your ability to partake in the activities of your choosing with minimal help from others. Most of the time, patients undergo three different types of activities as part of their therapy.
Exercise is an important part of your arthritis treatment. Your physiotherapist will prescribe a program for you that includes strengthening exercises aimed at preserving or increasing your muscle strength and range of motion exercises designed to help relieve stiffness, increase flexibility, and improve and maintain your joint movement.
These techniques can help you to reduce the stress on your joints whilst you participate in daily activities. Some of these techniques include maintaining proper posture to protect your joints, changing positioning regularly to prevent stiffness and pain, and controlling your weight to avoid putting excess stress on your joints.
Assistive devices, such as grab bars, long-handled shoehorns and bath stools, can make everyday activities easier and less stressful for your joints. Your physiotherapist will introduce you to the wide variety of devices on offer and help you to choose the best ones for your needs.
Once you start physiotherapy, you are responsible for following through with your treatment program. This includes performing daily exercises and taking heed of any lifestyle changes suggested by your physiotherapist. Patience, persistence and a positive attitude will help you to reap the benefits from your physiotherapy sessions, especially if you undergo sessions on Ealing physiotherapy centres like CK Physio.
