Relieving Arthritis Pain: The Benefits of At-Home Physiotherapy for Seniors



As the monsoon season approaches, the cooler weather and rain can bring comfort and challenges. For seniors with arthritis, the increased humidity and drop in temperature can often worsen joint pain, making daily activities more difficult.

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, arthritis refers to a group of more than 100 types of joint pain and inflammation, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis being the most common. Osteoarthritis typically affects weight-bearing joints, such as the knees and hips, causing stiffness and discomfort. The inflammatory condition known as rheumatoid arthritis can involve multiple joints and even other organs. For seniors, managing these conditions is essential to maintaining mobility and quality of life, especially during the colder and wetter monsoon season.

The Role of Athulya At-Home Physiotherapy in Arthritis Pain Management During Monsoon

Our physiotherapists begin by providing in-home support for seniors, helping them stay active and pain-free, especially during the rainy monsoon season. They offer effective treatments like hot water fermentation to ease joint pain, isometric knee exercises to strengthen muscles, and short-distance walking to keep you active.

Additionally, they emphasize the importance of staying active with gentle exercises, such as stretching, chair yoga, or light walking, to maintain flexibility and improve mood, even when it’s wet outside. Our physiotherapists recommend using heat therapy through warm baths, heating pads, or warm towels to soothe aching joints and relieve stiffness during colder months. For sudden pain, use ice packs for cold therapy to quickly reduce inflammation and provide relief. They also encourage incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids into meals to stay hydrated & keep joints lubricated.
