Physical Therapy can be a wonderful tool in our battle to stay mobile, maintain range of motion, and lessen pain. I have had therapy for my shoulders, my knees, my ankles and my back in recent years.

A good therapist familiar with RA is a blessing, but sometimes therapists can push us a little too hard. If they ever do that to you, call them and tell them you are in pain. In my experience, they will have you come back in and use passive therapy treatments such as the TENs unit and ice packs...
