Arthritis
Arthritis is a term that often instils fear in the majority of people. There are many different types of arthritis, with the most common being osteoarthritis, which can be described as the natural ‘wear and tear’ of joints through day-to-day living. This condition typically affects at least one joint in everyone at some point, with certain areas, such as the lower back and hips, showing signs of wear as early as one’s 30s.
We aim to alleviate any fear our patients may have regarding the inevitable changes to their bodies. Our belief in education drives us to prepare individuals as comprehensively as possible to manage and understand their anatomy. Strength-building activities, regular physical activity, and hands-on therapy are effective methods to slow down the progression of arthritic changes and mitigate their impact on one’s life. Ceasing activities, work, or hobbies is rarely a positive long-term solution. Our goal is to keep you mobile and offer guidance on lifestyle adjustments, alongside providing proactive exercise routines to maintain strength and mobility well into your later years.
Our team of physiotherapists, osteopaths, and acupuncturists possess extensive experience in managing arthritic conditions, tailoring their approach to suit your preferences.
