Capitol Physical Therapy is happy to announce the publication of a comprehensive new report entitled “How Physical Therapy Can Help Reduce Inflammation and Improve Mobility”. This report offers valuable insights for individuals suffering from pain, stiffness, or limited movement due to acute or chronic inflammation. The report outlines the causes, effects, and most effective therapeutic interventions to help people restore mobility and manage inflammation safely.
Inflammation is a natural bodily response to injury, infection, or illness. It can manifest itself as either acute or chronic inflammation.
Acute inflammation tends to be sudden in onset and resolves itself fairly quickly. This is associated with injuries like simple bone fractures or cuts, or temporary infections like influenza or strep throat. The inflammation caused by these conditions is a part of the human body’s healing process.
However, chronic inflammation is more problematic.
Chronic inflammation happens gradually over time. It can often lead to longer‑term pain, joint stiffness, fatigue, and reduced mobility. Chronic inflammation may be associated with a wide range of conditions including autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease, metabolic issues, and degenerative joint diseases.
How Physical Therapy Helps
The report provides a detailed breakdown of treatments that are effective in reducing inflammation and improving function. Because Capitol Physical Therapy is a Washington DC physical rehabilitation therapy clinic, the report focuses on physical therapy solutions.
In particular, the report outlines heat and cold therapy as an effective treatment option. This involves the use of hot packs, cold compresses or other modalities to promote circulation, reduce swelling, and ease stiffness.
The report also stresses the importance of tailored exercise programs. These may include aerobic workouts (walking, swimming) and strength training aimed at increasing flexibility, reducing stiffness, and supporting healthy joints.
Other techniques mentioned include soft tissue manipulation, TENS, and others.
This report is timely, as an increasing number of Americans are affected by chronic inflammation. But many who live with prolonged pain or stiffness may not realize how much inflammation contributes to loss of mobility or diminished quality of life. By highlighting how targeted physical therapy interventions can relieve symptoms and halt or reverse some of the damage done by chronic inflammation, this report serves as a resource for patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and anyone interested in proactive health and mobility.
Furthermore, treatment plans are emphasised as being individualised—there is no universal “one‑size‑fits‑all” protocol; therapists design programs based on each patient’s history, condition, and mobility goals.
Capitol Physical Therapy is a physical therapy clinic with locations in Washington, D.C. and a second clinic in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. They provide holistic, evidence‑based care focusing on a broad range of conditions including orthopedic injuries, pain management, post‑operative recovery, and chronic conditions affecting mobility.
Those interested in learning more about the clinic and treatments provided are encouraged to contact their nearest Capitol Physical Therapy location.
