Pain Management
Osteoarthritis often leads to chronic joint pain, but there are several strategies to manage this discomfort. We provide targeted therapies, including manual therapy, gentle mobilisation, and the application of therapeutic modalities to help reduce pain. Additionally, we offer guidance on using heat and cold therapies, over-the-counter medications, and other interventions to control pain effectively.
Strengthening and Conditioning Exercises
Weak muscles can increase the strain on your joints, leading to further deterioration. Our physiotherapists design personalised exercise programs that focus on strengthening the muscles around the affected joints, helping to reduce stress and support better joint stability. These exercises not only help with pain management but also improve joint function and flexibility, making movement easier and more fluid.
Joint Mobility and Flexibility
Maintaining or improving joint mobility is essential for preventing stiffness and enhancing the range of motion. We incorporate flexibility exercises and stretching routines into your care plan to ensure that your joints stay mobile and functional. Our goal is to help you maintain the ability to perform daily activities with minimal discomfort.
Lifestyle and Activity Modifications
We provide guidance on making lifestyle adjustments that can protect your joints and prevent further damage. This includes ergonomic advice for everyday tasks, proper footwear recommendations, and tips on modifying activities that put excessive stress on your joints. We also emphasise the importance of maintaining a healthy weight to reduce the load on weight-bearing joints like the hips and knees.
At Seaside Physiotherapy, our mission is to provide exceptional physiotherapy services that empower individuals to live pain-free, independent, and healthy lives. We are dedicated to delivering compassionate, personalised care directly to your home, ensuring that every client receives the highest quality treatment tailored to their unique needs.
