What are some benefits of occupational and physical therapy programs?
Physical therapy programs may provide: • Education about your kind of arthritis, so that you can be a well-informed member of your health care team • Foot care advice, including information on how to choose well-fitting shoes with shock-absorbing outer soles, and sculptured (orthotic) insoles molded exactly to the contour of each foot • Therapeutic methods, including physical techniques and activity modifications, to relieve discomfort and improve performance
