Frequently Asked Questions
How can physiotherapy help with arthritis?
Physiotherapy helps manage arthritis by reducing pain, improving joint mobility, strengthening supporting muscles, and teaching joint protection techniques. Regular therapy can slow disease progression and improve quality of life.

While a referral is not always required, we recommend consulting with your doctor first, especially for complex conditions. We work closely with orthopedic surgeons and physicians to ensure coordinated care.
