● CONDITION · JOINT PAIN & ARTHRITIS

Hands-on treatment for joint pain

Joint pain and arthritis can affect movement, independence, and quality of life, whether it's a single joint that's become stiff and painful, or a more widespread condition affecting several areas of the body.

At our clinic, we take a thorough, evidence-based approach to identifying exactly what's driving your joint pain, then build a treatment plan around you — drawing on the most appropriate combination of hands-on therapy, targeted rehabilitation, and advanced treatments available across our clinic, to relieve your symptoms and help you stay as mobile and active as possible

Does this describe you?

  • Your joints feel stiff first thing in the morning, or after sitting for a while
  • You've noticed swelling, warmth, or tenderness around a specific joint
  • Stairs, kneeling, or getting up from a chair have become genuinely difficult
  • Your joint pain seems to be gradually getting worse, or affecting more than one area
  • You've been told you have arthritis, but aren't sure what that actually means for your day-to-day life
  • Cold or damp weather seems to make your joints ache more
  • You're avoiding certain movements or activities because of joint pain, without really deciding to
  • You want to stay active and independent, and are looking for ways to manage symptoms long-term, not just mask them

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone — and it's exactly what we help patients with, every day.

DIAGNOSIS

Types of Joint Pain and Arthritis We Treat

Each one needs a different treatment approach — which is why the first appointment exists to identify exactly which is yours.

Osteoarthritis

The most common form of arthritis, caused by gradual wear of the cartilage cushioning a joint, typically affecting the knees, hips, hands, and spine, and causing stiffness, swelling and pain that often worsens with activity.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

An autoimmune condition causing inflammation within the joints, often affecting several joints symmetrically, and requiring coordinated care alongside your medical team.

Hip Osteoarthritis

Wear and degeneration of the hip joint, often causing groin, thigh, or buttock pain, stiffness, and a gradual reduction in range of movement.

Knee Osteoarthritis

Wear and degeneration of the knee joint, commonly causing pain with stairs, kneeling, or prolonged standing, along with stiffness and occasional swelling.

Hand and Finger Arthritis

Joint degeneration affecting the small joints of the hands and fingers, often causing stiffness, reduced grip strength, and difficulty with fine motor tasks.

Shoulder Arthritis

Degeneration of the shoulder joint, often causing pain with overhead movement and a gradual loss of range of motion.

Facet Joint Arthritis (Spinal Arthritis)

Degeneration of the small joints of the spine, often contributing to chronic back or neck stiffness, particularly worse with certain movements such as arching or twisting.

Gout and Inflammatory Joint Flare-Ups

Sudden, often intense joint pain and swelling caused by inflammatory conditions such as gout, typically requiring coordinated care alongside appropriate medical management.

— OUR APPROACH —

How we can help.

At our clinic, we take a thorough, evidence-based approach to identifying exactly what's driving your joint pain, then build a treatment plan around you — drawing on the most appropriate combination of hands-on therapy, targeted rehabilitation, and advanced treatments available across our clinic, to relieve your symptoms and help you stay as mobile and active as possible.

Living with joint pain or arthritis doesn't mean simply managing decline — with the right approach, many patients see real improvements in pain, movement, and confidence in their joints. We begin with a thorough assessment of the joints affected, your movement pattern, and how symptoms are impacting your daily life, so treatment reflects your specific situation rather than a generic arthritis protocol.

Depending on your diagnosis, your plan may combine gentle hands-on osteopathy or physiotherapy to maintain joint mobility and ease surrounding muscular tension, targeted strengthening exercises to support and protect the joint, and practical guidance on pacing and adapting daily activities. Where appropriate, we work alongside your GP or specialist, particularly for inflammatory conditions requiring coordinated medical care.

Our aim is to help you manage symptoms, maintain independence, and stay as active as possible for as long as possible — with a realistic, supportive plan built around living well with joint pain, not just treating it in isolation.
