Physiotherapy and Joint Protection
for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Physiotherapy and occupational therapy for RA focus on maintaining joint function, teaching joint protection techniques, splinting, and adapting daily activities to reduce joint stress.
How it works
Targeted exercises maintain muscle strength and range of motion around inflamed joints. Joint protection principles reduce inflammatory load on vulnerable joints. Splints offload acutely inflamed joints.
What to watch for
Best coordinated with the treating rheumatologist. Exercise prescription should account for current disease activity — high-load exercise on acutely inflamed joints is contraindicated.
