Joint Preservation & Arthritis Management

Painful or achy joints may be a sign of inflammation within the joint that can worsen
over time if left untreated. Inflammation may occur as a result of degenerative conditions, poor body movement (biomechanics), repetitive overload, and/or trauma. Early rehabilitation allows us to minimise further degeneration and compensatory strategies that can accelerate your joint wear and tear over time.

What can we treat

• Arthritis affecting any joint in the body
• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Psoriatic arthritis
• Labral tears (and repairs)
• Meniscal tears
• Rehabilitation after arthroscopy
• Chondromalacia

How will it help you
Our expert Physiotherapists are uniquely positioned to address several key areas that contribute to the progression of joint disease and degeneration. Through a careful assessment of ALL contributing factors, including weight, pre-existing injuries, joint range of motion, weakness or muscle imbalance, biomechanical dysfunction and movement-related pain, our team can tailor a safe and effective, individualised strategy to safely optimise your function and slow the progress of joint deterioration.
A “no-pain-no-gain” approach simply won’t work, but it’s equally ineffective and dangerous to just stop moving to try to protect your joints. The key element to the success of these strategies is that they’re implemented as early as possible, under expert guidance. With expert guidance and dedication to the plan, as a team, we can delay the need for surgery, decrease pain and increase function, and improve biomechanics to minimise further joint degeneration.
