Physical Therapy treatment for Knee Arthritis or Osteoarthritis can effectively decrease pain and improve the quality of life without invasive or painful procedures.
Several different treatment methods within the scope of physical therapy, and provided by ProForm Physical Therapy, have been shown in published research to decrease pain during activities such as walking, and improve overall mobility.
ProForm Physical Therapy is one of very few facilities in the region that provides Medical Exercise Therapy, a non invasive and often painless form of exercise that emphasizes high repetition and low resistance exercise to promote blood flow and soft tissue healing. This type of exercise also stimulates mechanoreceptors, nerve endings inside the joint, which decrease the pain felt by patients.
Recent research also shows that utilizing a special type of knee brace may help to decrease stress to the knee joint surfaces during walking and to decrease pain during walking. In practice, we have found that this type of brace is an excellent addition to knee arthritis rehabilitation. ProForm Physical Therapy strives to always be on the cutting edge of the latest research to help our patients.
Manual Therapy, hands on treatment provided by your Doctor of Physical Therapy, can also improve the range of motion and joint mobility as well as decrease pain during activities like stair climbing, squatting, and walking.
