Treatment of Ankle Arthritis: Physical Therapy
The symptoms of ankle arthritis can be reduced for selected patients
using physical therapy techniques. Flexibility exercises emphasizing
limited or non-impact techniques are most helpful. Pool therapy and aquatic
exercises help patients maintain fitness without causing further injury
to the ankle joint. Physical therapists can also help patients learn
how to properly use a cane to reduce the stress on the arthritic ankle.
