Our Approach to Arthritis & Pain Management
While there is no cure for arthritis, physiotherapy is a highly effective way to manage symptoms. Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand how your condition affects you. We then develop a tailored treatment plan that may include:
Gentle exercises to improve strength and flexibility, manual therapy to ease stiffness and improve joint movement, and expert advice on activity pacing to help you manage your energy levels. We can also utilise pain relief techniques such as heat/cold therapy to provide comfort.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can physiotherapy cure my arthritis?
While physiotherapy cannot cure the underlying condition, it is one of the most effective ways to manage pain, reduce stiffness, and improve your overall function and quality of life.
Will the exercises be painful?
No. Our physiotherapists are experts in designing gentle, effective exercise programmes. They will work within your comfort levels and teach you how to exercise in a way that reduces pain, not increases it.
How can physiotherapy help with pain besides exercise?
Alongside exercise, we can provide advice on pain management strategies, such as using heat or cold packs, and teach you techniques for pacing your activities to avoid flare-ups.
