Arthritis
and joint pain affect millions of people and can limit mobility, independence,
and quality of life. Physiotherapy is a cornerstone of evidence-based
care—reducing pain, restoring movement, and protecting joints for the long
term. At Moolchand, one of the top hospitals in Delhi, superb physicians like
Dr. Ali Haider Khan combine cutting-edge therapy techniques with compassionate,
ethical care at affordable prices.
Pain relief: Targeted exercises, manual
therapy, and modalities such as heat, cold, ultrasound, or electrotherapy
ease pain and calm inflammation.
Improved mobility: Gentle stretching and
range-of-motion work maintain flexibility and prevent stiffness.
Strengthening muscles: Focused strengthening
around affected joints improves support and reduces load on cartilage.
Posture and alignment
training:
Gait and posture correction minimize joint stress and help prevent further
damage.
Functional improvement: Task-specific training
makes everyday activities—walking, stair climbing, lifting—safer and
easier.
Common Arthritis Conditions Treated
Osteoarthritis: Degenerative wear-and-tear
causing stiffness, pain, and reduced endurance.
Rheumatoid arthritis: Autoimmune
inflammation—managed with joint protection strategies, pacing, and
tailored exercise.
Post-surgical arthritis or
joint replacement: Structured rehab to regain strength, balance,
and confidence after orthopedic surgery.
What a Typical Rehab Plan Looks Like
Assessment: Pain mapping, mobility and
strength testing, gait and balance evaluation.
Personalized program: A mix of mobility drills,
progressive strengthening, joint protection education, and pacing
strategies.
Adjunct therapies: Heat/ice, electrotherapy,
taping, orthoses, or hydrotherapy as indicated.
Progress tracking: Goal-based milestones (pain
scores, walking time, sit-to-stand reps) to keep recovery on track.
Lifestyle Tips for Joint Health
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce mechanical stress
on knees, hips, and spine.
Favour low-impact cardio such as swimming, cycling,
or brisk walking to build endurance without flares.
Adopt an anti-inflammatory
diet
rich in omega-3s, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and adequate protein.
Avoid repetitive strain and learn joint-saving
techniques for work and home tasks.
Prioritize sleep and stress
control—both
influence pain thresholds and recovery.
When to See a Rehabilitation Specialist
Pain or stiffness limits daily
activities for more than a few weeks
Morning stiffness lasts over
30 minutes
Recurrent joint swelling,
instability, or frequent “giving way”
Recovery after joint surgery
is slower than expected
Early referral speeds recovery, reduces medication reliance, and protects
long-term joint function.

Final Thoughts
Physiotherapy
is essential to managing arthritis and joint pain effectively. With early
intervention, structured rehabilitation, and supportive lifestyle changes, most
patients can move more, hurt less, and get back to the activities they love.
