Arthritis makes joints feel stiff in the morning, achy in cold or damp weather and sore after sitting or standing for long. Osteoarthritis (age-related wear in the knees, hips or spine) and inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis affect joints differently, so your exercise pace has to match the type and stage of your arthritis.
At MuvAgain on Ashiyana Digha Road, Dr. Anjali Gupta (PT) pairs gentle pain-relieving modalities and hands-on joint mobilisation with low-impact strengthening so the muscles around your joints absorb more load and everyday tasks hurt less.
Common symptoms
- Morning joint stiffness lasting 15 to 60 minutes
- Aching or swelling in the knees, hips, shoulders, wrists or fingers
- Difficulty rising from a low chair, climbing stairs or gripping jars
- Joints feeling stiffer after rest or during winter months
- Reduced stamina and fear of putting weight on painful joints
Common causes
- Knee, hip or spinal osteoarthritis (cartilage wear)
- Rheumatoid or other inflammatory arthritis (managed alongside your rheumatologist)

Frequently asked questions
Can I do physiotherapy if I have rheumatoid arthritis?
Yes, alongside your rheumatologist's medicines. During an active, hot flare we focus on joint protection, gentle range-of-motion and pain relief; once inflammation settles we build strength safely.
Will exercise wear out my arthritic joints faster?
No. Properly dosed, low-impact exercise nourishes joint cartilage and strengthens surrounding muscles, which actually reduces stress on the joint.
How much does arthritis physiotherapy cost at MuvAgain?
The first session (assessment and treatment) is ₹500 and follow-up sessions start at ₹300, with 10% and 12% savings on 15 and 30-day packages. See all physiotherapy charges in Patna.
