Rheumatoid Arthritis Fort Lauderdale
Dealing with joint pain that feels worse in the morning or after periods of rest? Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) could be the cause. This autoimmune condition targets the joints, leading to inflammation, stiffness, and long-term damage if left untreated. At Theracave in Fort Lauderdale, we provide personalized physical therapy programs that focus on pain management, joint preservation, and improving your ability to move freely and comfortably.
RA affects each person differently, which is why our approach is never one-size-fits-all. We work with you to create a customized treatment plan that may include mobility exercises, strength training, and joint protection techniques. Our goal is to help you stay ahead of flare-ups, minimize discomfort, and maintain an active, independent lifestyle despite the challenges RA can bring.

Q&A
What is Rheumatoid Arthritis and how is it different from osteoarthritis?
Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack the lining of the joints, leading to inflammation and damage. Unlike osteoarthritis, which results from wear and tear, RA is systemic and can affect organs and tissues beyond the joints.
Can physical therapy help with Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Yes. Physical therapy helps manage symptoms by improving joint flexibility, strengthening supportive muscles, reducing stiffness, and teaching energy conservation techniques. It’s especially valuable during remission periods to maintain function.
When should I start therapy for Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Ideally, as early as possible—especially after diagnosis. Starting physical therapy early can help reduce joint damage, improve long-term outcomes, and teach you how to safely move even during flare-ups.
Is Rheumatoid Arthritis curable?
There’s no cure for RA, but it is manageable. With the right combination of medical treatment, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments, many people live active, fulfilling lives while keeping symptoms under control.
