Arthritis pain does not have to affect your daily life.
While it starts as a niggle in your joint it slowly becomes more and more present. When you finally seek help you are often told it is just to be accepted at your age, but – you don’t need to accept arthritis pain as being down to your age.
If arthritis pain was just down to age then why doesn’t everyone have the exact same problem?
The truth is most people do just accept the pain, often relying on painkillers to get through the day and hope against hope that it will just disappear on its own some day.
It does not have to be like this for you…
Private physiotherapy can provide you with the plan to improve your joint pain, keep you mobile and active and be able to enjoy time with your family and friends without the worry of your arthritis ruining your plans.
We see a lot of people at our Hamilton physiotherapy clinic suffering with arthritis – so our team are experts in treating it.

Then we work with you to get a plan in place that will start to help you feel better. Our treatment is specially designed to achieve what you want. So if it is to walk further, play with your grandchildren, get out on the golf course or just get out of a chair easier you get specific input to achieve it.
By starting physiotherapy for your arthritis and joint pain, you can start tackling your pain immediately and be able to manage things you never thought you would be able to again.
You need to keep the body moving. Rest is not best for arthritis and joint pain.
While it can be tempting in the short term to stay in one position, in the long term it is only compounding your problem. Although it might be difficult at first, it is vital you get up and move around regularly.
A quick Google or YouTube search will bring up hundreds of exercises for arthritis and joint pain – but how do you know they are the right ones for your pain?
All these exercises are generic. They are not specific to your needs, and even on occasions they can make your pain worse. That is why it is important to do exercises specific for your issue.
Above anything else: the best thing you can do to ease your arthritis and joint pain is book a physiotherapy appointment!
Working with a professional is the best way to reclaim your energy, independence, and enjoyment of life.
We don’t promise a magical fix for your pain if we can’t provide one.
