  1. Reducing Arthritis Pain: Utilizing specialized techniques to calm inflammation and alleviate discomfort.

  2. Improving Joint Function: Restoring the safe and optimal range of motion.

  3. Strengthening Supporting Muscles: Building the muscle stability needed to protect affected joints from excessive load.

Through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions, we deliver personalized physiotherapy for arthritis that maximizes your movement and minimizes long-term joint damage.

Comprehensive Arthritis Management: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

Understanding the Root Causes of Your Joint Pain

Arthritis is not a single condition but an umbrella term for over 100 diseases causing joint issues. Understanding your specific type of arthritis is the first step toward effective joint pain relief.

The primary forms of arthritis we specialize in managing include:

  • Osteoarthritis (OA) Treatment: The most common form, often called "wear-and-tear" arthritis, resulting from cartilage breakdown.

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Management: An autoimmune disorder requiring delicate care focused on reducing painful synovial swelling and preserving function.

  • Psoriatic Arthritis & Gout: Specialized programs to manage the unique inflammatory profiles of these conditions.

Common factors contributing to the need for arthritis treatment include: age, genetics, previous joint injuries, and excess weight (which increases load on weight-bearing joints).

Recognizing Arthritis Symptoms for Early Intervention

Early diagnosis and treatment lead to the best outcomes. Seek professional arthritis treatment if you experience:

  • Persistent Joint Pain: Especially a deep ache that worsens with activity. (Key search term: Chronic Joint Pain)

  • Morning Stiffness: Difficulty moving the joint, particularly after rest.

  • Swelling and Redness: Visible inflammation around the joint.

  • Reduced Range of Motion (ROM): Significant difficulty performing daily tasks like gripping or climbing stairs.

  • Joint Warmth and Tenderness
