Understanding Arthritis

At Dr Waheed Physio, patients experiencing arthritis undergo a thorough physical evaluation led by Dr. Waheed Muhammad, Senior Consultant Physical Therapist at DHQ Teaching Hospital Swabi. We identify the primary mechanical, neurological, or inflammatory factors contributing to your pain and functional limitation.

Common Symptoms

• Joint stiffness, particularly in the morning or following periods of rest
• Persistent deep aching or swelling in weight-bearing joints
• Reduced range of motion limiting walking, squatting, or fine motor activities

How Physiotherapy Helps

Targeted low-impact therapeutic exercise preserves synovial lubrication, reduces joint capsule stiffness, and strengthens periarticular musculature to absorb mechanical load.
