Our
therapists have developed a program of evaluation, education, and
exercise to address the specific needs of individuals with symptoms
related to arthritis. We have combined research-based exercise
strategies with concepts of cardiovascular exercise compliance to
achieve a patient-centered management program.
The primary focus of the program is to educate
patients regarding the appropriate responses and warning signs that
result from applying stress and loading to inflamed or degenerative
tissues.
We believe this program of teaching self management
and emphasizing the patient's abilities over their disabilities can
modify adverse psychosocial factors that limit patient success.
