Arthritis is not just “joint pain.” It’s a group of conditions that cause inflammation, stiffness, and damage to the joints. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the joint lining, causing swelling, pain, and long-term deformity if not managed properly.

At The Physicare, our physiotherapy approach combines medical understanding with movement science to support patients at every stage of their arthritis journey.

Our Physiotherapy Approach

1. Comprehensive Assessment

Every patient undergoes a detailed evaluation to identify affected joints, range of motion limitations, muscle strength, gait, balance, posture, and daily activity limitations. This helps design a personalized arthritis management plan.

2. Pain and Inflammation Control

Early or active RA phases focus on reducing inflammation and protecting joints. Therapies may include:

• Electrotherapy (TENS, Ultrasound) for pain relief
• Cryotherapy or moist heat depending on inflammation stage
• Gentle manual therapy to reduce stiffness without aggravating pain

3. Restoring Mobility and Strength

As inflammation settles, physiotherapy rebuilds:

• Joint range of motion through controlled stretching
• Muscle strength to support joints and reduce load
• Endurance and balance training for daily function

Safe, low-impact exercises using Therabands, Swiss balls, or hydrotherapy ensure progress without strain.

4. Functional & Lifestyle Training

Patients learn joint protection techniques, correct posture, energy conservation, and self-management routines for long-term relief.

5. Home & Clinical Care Options

• At Home: Customized exercise schedules, video guidance, and follow-ups
• At Clinic: Manual therapy, electrotherapy, supervised strengthening, and joint-specific rehabilitation
