Joints in the body connect bones inside the body, bear weight, and provide support and strength during movements. Joint pain is usually caused by injuries, inflammation of the lining of the joints, arthritis, hemarthrosis, STDs, and gout.

Geriatric physiotherapy is the best to help reduce joint pain and improve the stability of the joints.

Generalized weakness is one of the most common issues that almost every individual faces post a certain age. One of the attributes of this is degenerative changes that come with age resulting in poor muscle tone, stiff joints, etc. This is further worsened by the presence of other chronic conditions such as neurological issues, endocrine problems, and musculoskeletal issues. Some of the general causes of generalized weakness are flu, depression, thyroid disease, anemia, lack of sleep, congestive heart failure, undiagnosed diabetes, and medication side effects.
