CONSIDER PHYSIOTHERAPY If you are experiencing pain, joint stiffness and decreased mobility due to arthritis, you could greatly benefit from a consultation with one of our therapists. Physiotherapy has an excellent long-standing history of effectively treating the symptoms of arthritis. The benefits of therapeutic exercises for rheuma- toid arthritis were recently described by an expert panel of multidisciplinary health care researchers who concluded that therapeutic exercise is an effective means to achieve pain relief, improve strength, reduce swollen joints and improve func- tion. A Canadian study of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis showed that those who followed a phys- iotherapy program improved with the treatment and were able to maintain the results one year later. Other research findings have shown that low-intensity exercise over a 24-week period can provide pain relief and improvement in functional status. Therapeutic exercise plays an important role in managing the symptoms of osteoarthritis as well. Studies have shown that therapeutic exercise, whether prescribed for specific joint problems or a general exercise program, results in reduced pain, improvement in physical activity, aerobic capacity and energy levels. Carrying excess weight puts individuals at risk of developing osteoarthritis (OA), particularly in the weight-bearing hip and knee joints. A recent report from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) demonstrates a correlation between being obese and the incidence of knee and hip replacement surgeries. A populations based, public health strategy to restore healthy physical activity and eating will mitigate the impact of arthritis and ultimately may delay or reduce the need for total joint replacement, remarked Laurie Hurley, a physiotherapist and Senior Director, Arthritis Programs at The Arthritis Societys Ontario Division. Physiotherapy begins with a medical history and physical assessment that includes an analysis of function and gait. The treatment is then tailored to the individuals symptoms, needs and lifestyle. Using exercise, education and a variety of thera- peutic modalities as needed, physiotherapists work with their clients to help them become stronger and more active. Physiotherapists are primary care, client-centred professionals who can make a contribution across the health care continuum. They help people of all ages gain and maintain optimal physical function allowing an active lifestyle. With their applied knowledge and understanding of the human body in action, physiotherapists are able to help their patients increase mobility, have less pain, build strength and improve balance and cardio- vascular function. Our Physiotherapists at Eramosa Physiotherapy Associates not only treat injuries, they also provide education on how to prevent the onset of pain and/or injury that can limit activity.
