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.
Best coordinated with the treating rheumatologist. Exercise prescription should account for current disease activity â high-load exercise on acutely inflamed joints is contraindicated.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
