Joint Pain

Joint pain can make everyday tasks—from climbing stairs to getting out of bed—feel difficult or even impossible. At Access Physical Therapy, we take a comprehensive, hands-on approach to help you understand what’s causing your pain and how to move forward with strength and confidence.

What It Is

Joint pain can stem from a variety of causes—arthritis, injury, inflammation, overuse, or mechanical imbalances. It may affect the knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, or ankles, and often limits mobility, function, and overall quality of life.

Rather than treating just the symptom, we aim to uncover the root cause of your discomfort and develop a personalized plan to restore healthy movement.

What to Expect

Your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific diagnosis, joint function, and activity level. It may include:

• Joint mobilization and manual therapy

• Pain management techniques (e.g. ice, heat, taping)

• Muscle strengthening to support the joint

• Flexibility and range of motion exercises

• Postural correction and gait training

• Education on movement patterns to avoid stress on the joint

Whether your joint pain is chronic or the result of a recent injury, our team guides you step-by-step through recovery.

Who It's For

• Individuals with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis

• Patients recovering from joint injuries or surgeries

• People experiencing chronic joint pain, swelling, or stiffness

• Anyone struggling with joint instability, clicking, or weakness

• Older adults aiming to stay mobile and independent

Why It Matters

Joint pain doesn't have to define your daily life. With targeted therapy, most patients see reduced pain, improved mobility, and better long-term joint function. Our goal is to help you move without fear—and live with freedom and strength.
