Ankylosing spondylitis
Physical therapy and exercise are for ankylosing spondylitis. Gentle movement will help diminish pain and stiffness, while exercise that is too intense can increase inflammation and make the pain worse.
Some clients find a cane to help assist in balance and relieve some pressure on affected joints while walking and standing. Maintaining good posture can reduce the likelihood of a fully fused spine.
Holistic physical therapy usually includes some combination of:
- Yoga
- Tai Chi
- Osteopathic Manual Therapy
- Strength Training
- Flexibility Training
- Postural Training
- Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement
to improve posture, flexibility and pain.
