A member asked:
Does physical therapy with arthrosis and osteophyte formation cause height loss? i have arthrosis and osteophyte formation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Physical therapy does NOT cause any changes in height, and indeed could likely improve your posture. It will help with pain and stiffness, and improve range of motion. Instruction in stabilizing exercises will be added when appropriate.
