  • Legacy Therapy and Wellness Group provides evidence-based and comprehensive services, and Rheumatologist coordinated care/wellness plans for individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Research shows that Physical Therapy and safe exercise management of individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is essential to decrease long-term loss disabilities. Specifically, individuals with RA, and other inflammatory arthritis conditions, are at risk for decreased flexibility, muscle atrophy, decreased muscle strength and reduced cardiovascular endurance. Deficits in such areas are shown to lead to functional compromise and increased health care expenditures. Therefore, a multifactorial approach is indicated with Rheumatologist Physician treatment, proper medications, Physical Therapy, and safe exercise prescription.
