Joint Restrictions and Adhesions

Joint Restrictions and Adhesions treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore

Joint Restrictions

The range of motion in the joints dictates human movement.  Motion can be limited due to factors like the joints themselves, by nerves, muscles, and connective tissue surrounding the joint. Causes of stiffness and restriction include nerve entrapment, osteoarthritis, or muscular tightness. When range of motion is reduced, the body is unable to properly function, leading to joint pain and being unable to perform daily tasks. 

With physiotherapy as a part of joint restrictions and adhesions treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore,  it is possible to decrease pain with improving motion of the joint and muscle functioning. After the cause of discomfort has been determined by the physiotherapist, a personalised treatment plan will be designed with various treatments.
