Arthritis & Joint Care

What Is Arthritis & Joint Care?

Arthritis and joint care is a specialist physiotherapy service designed to help people living with joint conditions manage their symptoms, maintain mobility, and improve their quality of life. Our approach combines gentle manual therapy, tailored exercise therapy, and patient education to deliver lasting results.

Whether you have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or age-related joint degeneration, our physiotherapists have the expertise to create a management plan that works for your specific condition and lifestyle. Research consistently shows that appropriate exercise is one of the most effective interventions for arthritis.

Who Is It For?

This service is for anyone experiencing joint pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility due to arthritis or joint degeneration. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to book — our assessment can determine the likely cause of your symptoms and guide appropriate management.

We see patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, and hand, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, post-joint replacement rehabilitation, and general age-related joint stiffness. Whether your symptoms are mild or significantly affecting your daily life, we can help.

What to Expect

Your first appointment includes a thorough joint assessment — we evaluate your range of motion, strength, balance, and functional ability. We also review any imaging, blood results, or specialist reports you may have. This gives us a complete picture of your joint health.

Treatment typically combines gentle manual therapy to ease stiffness with a progressive exercise programme designed to strengthen the muscles that support your joints. We also provide education on activity pacing, flare-up management, and lifestyle modifications. Our goal is to empower you with the tools and knowledge to manage your condition confidently and independently.
