Joints
Arthritis and joint stiffness
Stiff, aching joints that make everyday movement harder. Gentle, regular care can keep you moving.
Common signs
- Stiffness after rest
- Aching in several joints
- Less movement than you used to have
What usually causes it
Osteoarthritis is wear and repair in a joint, most often knees, hips and hands. Movement helps: joints that are kept moving usually stay more comfortable.
How we treat it
At your first visit we’ll ask how it started, what makes it better or worse, and check how you move. Then we agree a plan with you. It usually mixes hands-on care with simple exercises you can do at home, and you’ll always know why we’re doing what we do.
