Physiotherapy for Arthritis in Elderly

Arthritis causes joint pain, stiffness, and swelling that can worsen with age, making movement uncomfortable. Physiotherapy helps manage pain, improve joint flexibility, and keep seniors moving comfortably in daily life.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Do gentle range-of-motion exercises daily to ease stiffness
  • Do use warm compresses before activity to loosen joints
  • Do maintain a healthy weight to reduce joint stress
  • Do follow a physiotherapist-guided exercise plan consistently

Don'ts

  • Don't stay completely inactive during flare-ups
  • Don't ignore persistent swelling or joint deformity
  • Don't perform high-impact activities that strain joints
  • Don't rely only on painkillers without movement therapy

When to see a physiotherapist: Consult a doctor if joint pain is severe, joints appear swollen or red, or stiffness significantly limits daily activities.
