Most of the joint conditions require physical therapy in a treatment plan. A physical therapist will guide a patient on whom exercises are best for him or her, considering his or her own condition, and also on the techniques through which one should execute the exercise to tone up and strengthen the muscles.

Only those exercises are prescribed by a physical therapist that the patient performs because these exercises are tailored to the condition of the patient and strengthen some specific muscles without straining the diseased part of the joint.

Some of the most commonly used modalities of physical therapy often come in use to obtain the best outcome for the patient:

Exercises: Exercises help strengthen the muscles surrounding the joint which not only stabilizes the joint but also helps in reducing the stress on the joint thereby leading to a pain-free state. Balance exercises help prevent falls. Techniques of postural help modify the posture that might be creating strain on the joint.
TENS Unit: Transcutaneous electrical neuromuscular stimulation is quite effective in reducing the pain and provides soothing relief to the patient.
Ultrasound: An ultrasonic wave use deep heating and helps conditions such as strain/sprain or soft tissue inflammation.
Traction: This is commonly used for discogenic low back pain or neck pain to relieve pressure on nerves.
Massage: Various techniques including trigger point massages give excellent relief from pain.
Light Therapy: This technique utilizes certain wave patterns to stimulate healing in tissues; therefore, it reduces pain caused by inflammation.
Iontophoresis: This technique employs some tiny portion of electrical excitation in the delivery of drugs which helps minimize inflammation.
