Arthritis
Relieve joint pain, restore movement, and manage arthritis with personalised physiotherapy treatments.
Understanding Arthritis
Arthritis, often referred to as the ‘wear and tear’ of joints, is a common condition affecting over 10 million people in the UK. It typically occurs as we age, much like ‘internal wrinkles,’ and while it can be managed, for many people, arthritis can cause significant pain and stiffness. Physiotherapy offers effective ways to manage arthritis pain and improve joint function, allowing you to maintain your quality of life.
Common causes of arthritis include
- General wear and tear of the joints - Past traumatic injuries that accelerate joint deterioration - Weakness or lack of stability around a joint, leading to abnormal movement and faster onset
Symptoms of arthritis include
- Stiffness - Swelling - Achy pain - Reduced strength in the affected joint

At Carter & George, our expert physiotherapists work to understand the underlying causes of your pain, whether it’s related to joint movement or other factors. By addressing these issues early, we can help slow the progression of arthritis and manage your symptoms before they worsen.
