Living with AS can present unique challenges, but incorporating physical therapy techniques, especially following major surgery, can help improve flexibility, reduce pain, and enhance overall quality of life. Let's share our experiences, tips, and questions related to physical therapy for AS.

I have problems with pain medication and I have found PT is the answer for me. I do PT in bed before I get up to get moving and continue to exercise throughout the day. My goal is to keep my core strong and joints flexible. I'm 73 yo with no doc.

I love the internet because they can really help with who to go to for PT. I looked up physical therapists that have some kind of specialty or training in AS. Honestly, surprisingly, there was someone in my small town!
And I read an article on AS that recommended PT for AS about 2-3 short times per year rather than one long session.
Take care

I too love the internet!
It certainly can be helpful (and informative) at times!
Good luck with the PT.

No, the pain clinic in Massachusetts near me refused to treat me because I'm using cannabis for relief.
