Managing Arthritis
Arthritis can make everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, gripping objects or exercising more difficult. Stiffness, pain and reduced mobility can all affect your confidence and quality of life.
At Elite Performance Therapy, every appointment begins with a thorough assessment to understand how arthritis is affecting your movement before recommending the most appropriate treatment. Our aim is to help reduce pain, improve mobility and support you in staying as active as possible.
What Causes Arthritis?
Arthritis is a condition that affects the joints. The most common form is osteoarthritis, where the cartilage within the joint gradually wears down over time. Other forms, such as rheumatoid arthritis, are caused by the immune system attacking the joints.
Although arthritis cannot be reversed, many people can successfully manage their symptoms with the right combination of treatment, exercise and lifestyle advice.
How We Can Help
At Elite Performance Therapy, treatment is tailored to your individual symptoms and goals.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include sports massage, remedial therapy, soft tissue techniques, medical acupuncture (dry needling), stretching, mobility work and a personalised exercise programme to help improve movement and reduce muscle tension around affected joints.
Our goal is to help you remain active, improve your mobility and make everyday activities more comfortable.
Living Well with Arthritis
Regular movement, strengthening exercises and maintaining joint mobility can all help reduce stiffness and improve function.
