Don’t Let Arthritis Pain Stop You-MVPT Can Help!
According to the Arthritis Foundation, arthritis affects over 50 million people and is the leading cause of disability across America. Arthritis pain can affect anyone at any age. As a result, it can also become downright debilitating for those who suffer from it. There are many important steps that people dealing with this condition can take to relieve their stiff and aching joints. Our innovative care strategies at MVPT will help you find quick relief. Physical therapy is one of them!
Haven’t You Heard-Motion is Lotion!
The go-to phrase often used by physical therapists is “motion is lotion.” This basically means that the more you move your body, the more your joints are getting the essential lubricants needed to help them move. As a result, this keeps your joints healthy so you can be active! Don’t let arthritis pain stop you from exercising. Before you jump up off the couch, keep in mind that when overdone exercise can lead to joint pain or damage.
Why Choose Physical Therapy?
Exercising daily will not reverse arthritis, but it can help slow down its progression and ease the painful symptoms. Your physical therapist will construct a regular exercise routine that is safe for you and helps reduce your pain naturally. You may even be able to cut down or eliminate your pain medications! What a bonus to your health and wallet!
Don’t Give Up-Instead, Try Something New!
Over time, many people with arthritis slowly stop participating in their favorite activities due to pain. Your physical therapist can help you find new, joint-friendly activities to get you moving safely again. For instance, low-impact activities such as yoga, biking, swimming, and kayaking can be great alternatives. Besides- who doesn’t love trying something new!
Imagine Your Life with Less Pain!
Working with a physical therapist will help you fight the negative effects of arthritis and return to doing what you love. Above all, physical therapy has been proven to reduce pain for people suffering from arthritis. According to one study, patients who participated in physical therapy for knee osteoarthritis experienced 50% more pain relief!!
