It involves a combination of physical therapy, exercise, and lifestyle modifications to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall function.
Goals that you will achieve :
Relief from Pain:
The primary goal is to alleviate pain, which is often a significant component of arthritis
Improvement of Mobility:
Rehabilitation focuses on improving mobility by reducing joint stiffness and improving strength, which can help individuals with arthritis move more easily and perform daily activities
Restoration of Function:
By strengthening the muscles around the joints and improving flexibility, arthritis rehabilitation can help restore function and reduce the impact of arthritis on daily activities
Education and Self-Management:
Rehabilitation also involves educating patients about their condition, teaching them about joint protection strategies, and how to use assistive devices. This empowers patients to manage their arthritis more effectively and to take an active role in their own care
