There are over 100 types of arthritis, but two of the most common forms are Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Each type affects your joints differently, but both share one thing: they can make day-to-day life incredibly challenging.

Osteoarthritis

This type of arthritis is often considered a “wear-and-tear” condition. Over time, the cartilage cushioning the ends of your bones wears down, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling. It can affect any joint, but it commonly targets the knees, hips, and hands. Osteoarthritis is most prevalent in older adults, but it can affect younger individuals, especially after injury.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Unlike osteoarthritis, which is mechanical in nature, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder. Your body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy joint tissue, causing painful swelling and eventually, joint deformity. This inflammatory type of arthritis doesn’t just affect your joints—it can impact other parts of your body, like your skin and lungs, too. Without timely intervention, RA can be severely debilitating.

Physiotherapy: Your Key to Arthritis Relief

At Fit and Fine Rehab, we believe that movement is medicine. Our physiotherapists are highly skilled in treating arthritis through customized rehabilitation programs. Here’s how physiotherapy can make a difference for those battling arthritis:

• Pain Reduction: With targeted exercises and manual therapy, we work on relieving the pain that’s been holding you back. We use a variety of techniques to improve joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and decrease inflammation.
• Improved Joint Function: By strengthening the muscles around your joints, we can help reduce the strain on your affected areas. This increased strength leads to improved stability and overall joint function.
• Better Quality of Life: Managing arthritis with physiotherapy doesn’t just alleviate pain—it can empower you to move more freely, participate in your favorite activities again, and improve your overall well-being.
