❓”Is exercise safe with OA?”

💡Yes,exercise is not only safe with osteoarthritis, it’s one of the most effective ways to manage it. When the muscles around a joint are weak or stiff, the joint absorbs more stress and becomes more irritated. Strength training, mobility work, and low-impact aerobic exercise help reduce pressure on the joint, improve shock absorption, and decrease pain over time.

Many people avoid exercise because they fear “making it worse,” but the right movements actually help nourish the cartilage, improve joint mechanics, and increase stability. Physical therapy plays a key role in guiding you through safe, joint-friendly exercises tailored to your specific symptoms and limitations.

💪🏼If you’ve been unsure about how to exercise without flaring your pain, we can help. Call and schedule an appointment so we can build a personalized plan that keeps you moving confidently and comfortably.

❓“What causes Osteoarthritis?”

💡Osteoarthritis develops when the cartilage that cushions your joints gradually wears down from years of stress, previous injuries, muscle weakness, or alignment issues. As that protective layer thins, the joint becomes irritated, stiff, and painful.

What many people don’t realize is that OA isn’t just a cartilage problem. It’s influenced by the way you move, the strength of the surrounding muscles, and the daily stress placed on the joint. That’s why physical therapy is so effective. PT improves strength, mobility, and joint control, which reduces pressure on the irritated area and helps you move with less pain.

💪🏼 If you’ve been noticing stiffness, morning aches, or pain with walking or stairs, don’t wait for it to worsen. Call and schedule an appointment so we can help you move better, feel better, and protect your joints long-term.
