Arthritis: What’s the Deal?
Arthritis can be a real pain, stiffening joints and making movement—whether walking, gripping, or stretching—a struggle. Your joints, where bones meet muscles and cartilage, wear down, causing discomfort and reduced mobility.
Why Does Arthritis Happen?
Arthritis stems from cartilage breakdown, inflammation, or autoimmune issues. Common types include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or gout. Ageing, repetitive stress, injuries, or genetics can trigger it, while obesity or inactivity can worsen symptoms.
How We Address Arthritis
Isy, our skilled therapist, leads our approach to arthritis relief. Using sports massage, she targets tight muscles and boosts blood flow to ease discomfort. After assessing your joint function and posture, we craft a custom plan with massage, gentle stretches, or strengthening exercises to improve mobility and prevent worsening.
Ways to Keep Arthritis in Check
Isy shares clever tips to manage arthritis. Simple habits like low-impact exercises, maintaining a healthy weight, or using ergonomic tools can ease strain. We suggest regular sessions to keep joints limber and reduce flare-ups.
