Arthritis

Arthritis can make it harder to stay active, get through the workday or complete simple tasks around the house. You may experience pain, stiffness, weakness or a reduced range of motion in the affected joints.

Although physical therapy cannot eliminate arthritis, an individualized program from APTOR may help you move more comfortably, maintain strength and continue participating in the activities you enjoy.
