Your physical therapists at Absolute Physical Therapy & Fitness in Houston, TX will help you do the specific exercises that help strengthen the muscles around the joints, reduce joint stiffness or pain and we are the exercise experts when it comes to osteoarthritis. We have developed a combination of exercises that will benefit people with painful osteoarthritis:
Neck & Back Exercises
These exercises help build strength within the spine and muscles. They also support arthritic joints and keep stress off of them.
Aerobic Activities
These will help keep the lungs in shape while controlling weight. The most popular activities include walking, stationary cycling, and water aerobics.
Motion Exercises
These focus on keeping back joints limber, relieving stiffness, and helping to maintain normal joint motion. Bending forward, backward, or sideways is the most effective.
Stretching
Stretching can relieve discomfort from the symptoms of osteoarthritis. It also increases the range of motion and help joint function.
