What is Arthritis Physiotherapy Treatment?

Arthritis physiotherapy combines hands-on joint mobilization, tailored exercise programs, and pain-management techniques designed to relieve stiffness, maintain range of motion, and support overall joint health. A typical plan begins with a comprehensive physical assessment followed by a personalized program adjusted based on your recovery goals and response to treatment.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition where immune system responses lead to inflammation within the joint lining and surrounding tissues. Over time, persistent inflammation can contribute to joint discomfort, instability, and movement limitations. Professional physiotherapy management plays a key role in maintaining joint flexibility and supporting everyday functional stability.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis involves the gradual breakdown of joint cartilage and underlying bone structure, commonly affecting the hands, hips, and knees. Symptoms often include stiffness, localized swelling, and joint pain that can affect daily routines. Targeted physical therapy aims to strengthen surrounding muscles, improve joint function, and enhance quality of life.
