Joint pain can be caused by various factors, including arthritis, injury, overuse, or even poor posture. It can affect the mobility and quality of life, making it difficult to perform daily activities. Joint pain relief is essential for managing symptoms, improving function, and preventing further damage. Physiotherapy offers several strategies to alleviate joint pain and help restore movement.
- What it is: Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physiotherapists to improve joint mobility and reduce pain. It involves controlled movements of the joints to relieve stiffness and pain.
- How it works: The physiotherapist uses their hands to apply gentle, targeted force to the affected joint. This can improve the range of motion, decrease inflammation, and promote blood circulation to the area.
- Indications: Arthritis, frozen shoulder, knee pain, hip pain, or any joint stiffness.
- Benefits: Provides immediate pain relief, restores joint mobility, and improves circulation.
