Overcome the Challenges of Arthritis with ABTP’s Expert Tips

We start our day with aspirations – aspirations to move closer towards our goals and dreams. Unfortunately, for many individuals living with arthritis, even taking first step to initiate their day is a struggle.

Arthritis is a degenerative disorder of joints which results in pain, stiffness, inflammation and reduced range of motion. As per it’s type and severity, every individual requires a personalized treatment approach and this is where ABTP specializes in.

Abhinav Bindra Targeting Performance (ABTP) specializes in providing customized training programs tailored to every individual’s unique needs and requirements.

We, at ABTP also believe that:

This world Arthritis day, ABTP shares a reminder that we  stand as a pillar of strength for every individual battling with arthritis. By receiving timely care and expert guidance, one can lead a qualitative life, defying the limitations of arthritis.

Understanding Arthritis Beyond Pain

There are various types of arthritis that determine a patient’s mode of treatment at ABTP.  It can be of various types such as osteoarthritis (wherein the cartilage surrounding the bones wear out over time) to rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the healthy joints of the body). Sometimes, it can be even seen in children under the age of 16 which is known as the Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA).

In the latter, children may experience issues like joint damage or even eye inflammation.

Adhesive Capsulitis too is a condition which results in inflammation and thickening of the shoulder capsule. Often known as Frozen shoulder, it can lead to stiffness, pain and loss of motion that restricts the movement of the joint.

With the help of timely diagnosis, expert guidance and physiotherapy support by ABTP, recovery becomes more than just possible, it becomes powerful. We help the individuals rediscover movement, strength and confidence enabling them to lead an active, fulfilling lifestyle without compromising their fitness goals.

The Symptoms & Causes

Arthritis can be caused by various factors but in most of the individuals arthritis is observed when the cartilage supporting the joints starts degenerating. This is commonly observed in the weight bearing joints like knee. The condition can get worse due to past injuries or even poor posture.

The age-related wear and tear down of the joints is one of the primary causes of this condition.

Sometimes, in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, body’s own immune system attacks the joints which further escalates the damage if early care is not provided. Timely physiotherapy care from ABTP can prevent long-term functional limitations.

In some cases, inherited genetic factors also play a crucial role.

Sports injuries, repetitive strain on one particular joint or joint overuse can also trigger arthritis later in life. There are various other reasons too due to which arthritis can impact an individual’s life such as obesity, lifestyle factors and lack of activity among others.

Physiotherapy Management of Arthritis : The ABTP's Role

At ABTP, we specialize in advanced physiotherapy and rehabilitation especially for people living with conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other degenerative joint conditions.
With the help of evidence based treatment options, we help the patients to restore their mobility patterns and improve the overall joint health.

Our prime goal remains to help every patient move better, live pain-free, and prevent further joint damage through a structured, evidence-based approach.

1. Personalized Assessment

At first, a comprehensive clinical evaluation is taken ahead with every patient to identify the root cause.
Our assessment includes:

• Posture and gait analysis

• Joint range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength testing

• Pain mapping and functional movement analysis

• Technology-assisted progress tracking

This ensures a personalized and sustainable treatment plan for every individual.

2. Customized Exercise Therapy

Exercise is medicine — and at ABTP, every plan is tailored to restore mobility and strength.
Key components include:

• Isometric & Isotonic Strengthening to stabilize and support joints

•  Stretching & Flexibility Training to reduce stiffness

•  Balance & Proprioception Work to enhance joint control and reduce fall risk

This results in improved mobility, less pain, and stronger, more resilient joints.

3. Manual & Advanced Therapies

With our unique hands-on and technology-driven methods, we aim to provide faster pain relief and functional recovery.

Manual Techniques:

• Myofascial Release (MFR): Relieves tightness and improves soft-tissue mobility.

• Muscle Energy Techniques (MET): Corrects muscular and joint imbalances.

• Joint Mobilization: Reduceds stiffness and pain by stimulating joint mechanoreceptors.

• Dry Needling: Releases trigger points, reduces pain, and restores movement.

• Kinesio Taping: Supports joints, reduces swelling, and enhances proprioception.
  

Technology-Driven Rehabilitation:

ABTP integrates one-of-a-kind rehab technologies for precision-based recovery.

Biofeedback & Motion Sensors help in real-time tracking and measurable progress. 

Gait Training: Restores natural walking patterns, stride, and balance using real-time feedback and visual cues.

5. Neuromuscular & Proprioceptive Training (e.g., balance boards, stability pads) This retrains the joint control and also reduces abnormal loading.

6. Lifestyle & Posture Guidance

Effective arthritis management extends beyond the cli

nic, It’s built through smart daily habits and joint-friendly movements. ABTP believes in educating and empowering the patients to protect their joints and stay active safely.

Key focus areas:

• Joint Protection: Safe techniques for lifting, carrying, and performing daily activities.

• Activity Balance: Alternating movement and rest to prevent pain flare-ups.

• Postural Training: Correct alignment while sitting, standing, and walking.

• Home Exercise Plans: Simple, consistent routines to maintain therapy gains.

  
  

At ABTP Mohali, arthritis management is not just about reducing pain — it’s about restoring confidence, movement, and quality of life.
