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…

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had suffered from long term chronic back pain for around 10 years, since I was a teenager. I had tried a number of different physios/osteopaths/chiropractors over the years and had no such luck in getting any real long term relief or progress. However, after using David’s services and guidance I have for the first time, in a long time, been able to make the progress I was looking for. I had played junior football in my early 20s and had to hang up my boots through my injury. This year I was able to complete a full season of amateur football with only missing a handful of games through injury thanks to David’s help and programs that he designed specifically around my needs. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone who has suffered anything remotely similar. A real 5 star service ⭐️ Peter Copland2025-07-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Called out to David for help with an ongoing shoulder complaint, he assessed and set up a weekly exercise programme which eased my pain and gave me strength back, within a few weeks I was feeling much better, also gave me good advice on a historical back complaint as well, I would recommend David to anyone who has been struggling with joint pain, lack of movement issues, he also has excellent one to one skills making you feel at ease from the first meeting. john kyle2025-07-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend David highly enough. I thought I was going to have to just put up with a very sore back but even after my first appointment it made such a difference. David is excellent, he puts you at ease and talks you through everything. I had 5 appointments with him and he gave me some exercises to do at home and I’m now pain free. I’m so pleased I found him and appreciate what he did. Thank you. Anne Gallagher anne gallagher2025-06-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David almost immediately diagnosed my hip problems. I only needed two sessions and my hip is now completely pain free. Excellent, friendly service. David keeps in touch to check progress. Would thoroughly recommend. Ruth O'Brien2025-05-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend David Musgrave at Hamilton Physiotherapy. I have suffered from recurrent back pain for a long time, but after a few sessions with David, I now feel the best I have in years. David took time to assess the root cause of my pain and prepared a clear plan to achieve my desired outcome. I am confident that the exercises David has tailored for me will keep my back healthy for the long term. Andrew Richmond2025-05-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Have been with David at Hamilton Physiotherapy for the past three months, after post surgery shoulder, neck and arm pain. The initial excersises David asked me to carry out proved to be quite difficult, but slowly after some grim determination and encouragement I now find them fairly easy and quite enjoyable. I can now sleep better at night and most of all pain free. I would not hesitate to recommend David to anyone. kenneth burt2025-05-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David helped me with my neck and back problems (20+ years of working in the office resulting in bad posture & bad habits). He diagnosed and addressed the issues with a set of exercises that I've added to my daily (and gym) routine. The posture issues, neck and back pains are now gone, and my golf has improved as well! I would highly recommend David's service. Marek Kalwasinski2025-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David helped me with my lower back problem. He was very friendly, professional, informative and thorough. Thanks to David now I know what to do should my back problem comes back again in the future - hopefully not for a very very long time. All the hints and tips and exercises that David shared were all very helpful. putri hirota2025-02-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hurt a joint in my back at an exercise class just a few days before my ski holiday and needed treatment at short notice. I saw David as an emergency and after just 2 sessions, supported by great advice & follow up exercises, I was pain free and able to enjoy my ski trip. Lorna McDougall2025-01-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to David after seeing a doctor who referred me to the NHS clinic in Hamilton to see a physiotherapist. He told me I had strained the muscles in my lower back .if it did not get better in 6 weeks go back and see the doctor who would refer me again. Because of the pain I decided to see a private physio and after having a chat with David on the phone I made an appointment . The best thing i ever did . The first appointment he told me it wasnt my back it was my hip .He then explained what the issue was and showed me the structure of the hip and how the issue was occurring . At every appointment he made me feel very at ease .he gave me exercises to do at home and work which did get rid of the pain .A big thankyou BUAVOX . Christine Tannock2025-01-07
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.
