Physical therapy is good for gout because it helps to increase circulation, reduce swelling and pain, and promote healing. Physical therapy can include exercises to strengthen and stretch the affected joints and muscles, massage, heat/cold therapy, and ultrasound. It can also help to improve range of motion and reduce inflammation. Additionally, physical therapy can help to prevent future flare-ups of gout by helping to manage weight, improve posture, and teach proper form when exercising.
