Physiotherapy for Arthritis Centre in Himatnagar
Exercise is one of the best treatments for arthritis. Physiotherapy strengthens the muscles around the joint, improves flexibility and reduces pain, helping many people delay or avoid surgery. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, arthritis physiotherapy is planned with our orthopaedic team.
Understanding the Condition
How Exercise Helps Arthritis
Strong thigh and hip muscles take load off the knee, and regular movement keeps the joint flexible and nourished. Avoiding movement because of pain makes the joint stiffer and weaker. A guided, gradual programme reduces pain safely.
Who It Helps
- Knee and hip osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Stiff joints in older adults
- Before knee replacement (prehab)
- Frozen shoulder
