Osteoarthritis Physiotherapy – At Home
Understanding Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the more frequent types of arthritis that affects millions of people around the world and, in particular, older adults. It develops when the protective cartilage that cushions the edges of bones wears away with time, causing stiffness, pain, swelling and reduced mobility of joints. Although it may be a problem for any joint, osteoarthritis typically affects the hand, hips, knees and spinal column. The condition generally develops gradually and can worsen without proper treatment. The physiotherapy process is an essential part of treating osteoarthritis. It’s helping to ease discomfort and improve joint function and delay or even eliminate the necessity for surgery.
Common Challenges with Osteoarthritis
Physical Impairments
The tightness and discomfort can increase when you wake up or after time of rest, which limits movements and activities that are routinely performed.
Reduced Mobility & Independence
A difficult time moving, climbing stairs or standing up from a chair can affect confidence and limit daily routines.
Muscle Weakness & Instability
The changes in joint alignment can cause an insufficient alignment, weakness or imbalance, increasing the chance of falling and a further injury.
