“Chase away the pain” therapy:
In case of strong pain let’s not demonize painkiller and anti-inflammatory pharmacology, which allows the necessary relief to continue the mobilization of the articulations.
Drugs help, but they have to be considered a temporary solution and not a cure. Don’t forget the gastric surface!
Cortison infiltration kills the pain in a very short time because of its anti-inflammatory effect, but has strong counter-effects (it can, in time, cause tendons to wear away).
As an alternative to drugs, instrumental therapies such as antalgic currents, are also an effective painkiller.

Thermal water:
rehabilitation in the water, especially if thermal, is the most effective therapy ever. Thermal water is heavier and therefore allows better floating. Its heat helps muscular relaxation. With the help of qualified staff specialized in the joint movements with both passive and active exercise, articular mobility improves after just two sessions.

Move with all the possible effort:
the patient’s collaboration is essential, both during the session with the physiotherapist and at home. Joint mobilization is necessary even when the pain is strong. Keeping it blocked leads to the worsening of the situation. Therefore do the effort and exercise when at home, following the physiotherapist’s advice (no ‘do it yourself’ in this case!).
Pieces of advice:
In the acute phase avoid sources of heat near the painful part.
Ice gives immediate relief and soothes the pain, but later gives a bounce effect.
