Yes, it can.
Yes any type of movement and mobility based protocol is highly beneficial for arthritis. Modifications may be necessary to avoid agitation of symptoms and understanding symptom management/ patient education is a vital aspect most physios will teach.
Physical therapy can help relieve pain, it can improve your function and therapist can give you instructions on a home program of care
