    Physical Therapy

    Physical therapy can be helpful in the management of Osteoarthritis (OA) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). For example, a physical therapist may recommend:

    • Isometric (“pushing”) exercises to help build muscle strength without subjecting inflamed joints to excessive wear
    • Isotonic (“pulling”) exercises to further increase muscle strength and help preserve function
    • Daily walking, using a cane or other assistive device as needed
