Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis affects 1 in 1000 children.
Symptoms include swollen, stiff and painful joints in the knees, hands, feet, ankles, shoulders, elbows, or other joints, often in the morning or after a nap. Patients have warmth or redness in a joint, and experience less ability to use one or more joints. They often have fatigue. Physiotherapists can provide a suitable exercise program in a safe, healthy and fun manner.
