Physio for Arthritis
Is arthritis making it harder to move or enjoy your life?
​
At Evolving Pain, we have a special interest and experience in helping individuals manage arthritis-related pain, stiffness, and mobility challenges. Our compassionate team works with you to create a personalised plan aimed at improving joint function, reducing pain, and enhancing your quality of life.
​
What is Arthritis?
​
Arthritis is a group of conditions characterised by joint inflammation, pain, and stiffness. It can affect people of all ages and has several types, including:
​
-
Osteoarthritis (OA)
-
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
-
Psoriatic arthritis
-
Juvenile arthritis
​​
Symptoms can include joint swelling, reduced range of motion, stiffness, and difficulty performing daily tasks. Arthritis can impact not only physical health but also mental well-being, as chronic pain and limitations take a toll.
​
