Arthritis refers to inflammation and stiffness in the joints. It can affect one joint or many and may develop gradually over time. The most common forms are osteoarthritis, caused by joint wear and tear, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition that inflames the joint lining. 

Arthritis can limit strength, mobility, and coordination, making simple tasks like walking, climbing stairs, or opening jars more difficult. Early management helps preserve joint function and reduces discomfort so you can stay active.

Common Symptoms of Arthritis

Arthritis symptoms vary depending on the type and joint affected. You may experience:

  • Stiffness, especially after resting or waking up
  • Swelling or warmth in one or more joints
  • Pain with movement or activity
  • Reduced range of motion or strength
  • Grinding or clicking sensations in affected joints
  • Fatigue or reduced endurance

How Physiotherapy Eases Arthritis Pain

Physiotherapy plays a key role in managing arthritis by keeping your joints moving safely and your muscles strong. At Aldergrove Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre, your physiotherapist will assess your movement, strength, and joint function, then create a personalized plan designed to help you move comfortably again. Your program may include:

  • Manual therapy to improve joint mobility and relieve stiffness
  • Targeted exercise to strengthen supporting muscles and reduce strain on joints
  • Postural and movement training to improve function and stability
  • Gentle stretching and mobility routines to reduce pain and stiffness
  • Education on pacing activities, posture, and self-management strategies

Massage Therapy may help relieve muscle tension and improve circulation, while kinesiologists provide guided strength and conditioning programs tailored to your ability level. Acupuncture may also be recommended to reduce pain and support relaxation.

Staying Active with Arthritis

Many people avoid movement when they have arthritis, but controlled exercise is one of the best ways to manage symptoms. Regular activity improves joint lubrication, builds muscle support, and helps you maintain confidence in your body. Our team will teach you safe, low-impact movements that reduce pain and protect your joints.

  • Less pain and stiffness in affected joints
  • Improved mobility and strength
  • Better balance and coordination
  • Greater endurance and independence
