Osteoarthritis is the common wear-related joint condition, most often in the knees and hips. It cannot be reversed, but exercise-based physiotherapy is one of the most effective ways to manage it.
Osteoarthritis is when the smooth cartilage in a joint gradually wears and the joint becomes stiff and sore. It is extremely common with age and most often affects the knees, hips, and hands.
It helps to know that pain does not always match what is seen on a scan, and that the right kind of activity genuinely reduces symptoms. Strong evidence supports exercise, strengthening, and staying active as first-line treatment, which is exactly what I provide.
The goal is not to cure the joint but to reduce pain and keep you active and independent. Strength and movement do that better than rest.
Building the muscles around the joint to reduce load and pain.
Keeping the joint moving to ease stiffness and maintain function.
Practical ways to stay active without overloading sore joints.
Tools and a routine so you can manage flare-ups confidently.
Treatment moves through clear stages. I set the pace to suit you, but the path usually looks like this.
I check the joint, your strength, and what you want to keep doing.
Reduce pain and stiffness with movement and hands-on work.
A steady program to support and offload the joint.
A long-term plan to keep you moving and independent.
See a doctor if a joint becomes suddenly hot, red, and swollen with fever, if you cannot bear weight, or if pain changes sharply, as this needs checking beyond arthritis alone.
