Arthritis

Arthritis can significantly impact mobility and quality of life, that’s why at Osteopathic Movement we place great emphasis on providing comprehensive care to manage arthritis symptoms effectively.

Arthritis encompasses various conditions characterised by inflammation and stiffness in the joints, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis.

As skilled Osteopaths, we have extensive expertise in diagnosing and managing arthritis. Our approach involves:

1. Comprehensive Assessment: We conduct a thorough evaluation to assess the severity of your arthritis, identify affected joints, and understand your unique symptoms and limitations.

2. Hands-on Manual Therapy: We offer gentle manual therapy techniques to improve joint mobility, reduce pain, and alleviate stiffness associated with arthritis. These techniques may include:

- Joint Mobilisation

- Soft Tissue Massage

- Myofascial Release

- Dry Needling

- Muscle Energy Techniques (MET)

3. Exercise Prescription: We develop personalised exercise programs to strengthen muscles surrounding affected joints, improve flexibility, and enhance overall joint function. These exercises may include low-impact activities, range of motion exercises, and functional training.

4. Pain Management Strategies: We provide guidance on pain management strategies, including heat and cold therapy, lifestyle modifications, and ergonomic adjustments to alleviate discomfort and improve quality of life.

5. Nutritional Guidance: We offer advice on dietary changes and nutritional supplements that may help reduce inflammation and support joint health in individuals with arthritis.
