Physiotherapy for Osteoarthritis: we are experts in the treatment of common conditions that can affect seniors to a greater extent. These conditions include osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, reduced mobility (often after orthopaedic surgery such as total joint replacements), spinal arthritic or degenerative joint disease.Â
As we age, wear and tear on joints mean that exercise and treatment must be reconsidered for the ageing process. Diagnosis of osteoarthritis or degenerative disease’s can seem scary. In fact, its a normal part of the ageing process and simply requires appropriate management. That’s where physiotherapy for osteoarthritis and for other degenerative conditions can greatly help in relieving the symptoms. Treatment includes hands-on treatment for immediate symptomatic relief, the right exercises, stretches or hydrotherapy programs (see Hydrotherapy) that will increase mobility and provide patients with the tools to self-manage their condition.Â
Whether you have had recent joint replacement, a sports injury or need advice on managing aches and pains, physiotherapy can help. Your physiotherapy can be further supported by medicare with an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) program for chronic condition management – just ask your doctor.
Village Physio Physiotherapist’s conduct classes and provide one-on-one sessions in both the on-site hydrotherapy pool and gymnasium. Alternatively, physiotherapists can provide home based programs with a tailored and easy to follow series of video’s for iPhone or iPad simply emailed during consultations.
Let us help you turn back the clock on the ageing process!
