What it is

Arthritis physiotherapy manages the pain, stiffness and loss of function caused by osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, hand and spine, and by inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis.

The aim is not to reverse the joint changes on your X-ray but to load the joint correctly again. Stronger muscle around an arthritic joint reduces the pressure it takes with every step, which is why strength work relieves pain more reliably than rest.

Symptoms we see

Stiffness in the first 20 to 30 minutes of the morning
Pain on stairs, squatting or getting up from a low chair
Grinding or crackling sensation in the knee
Swelling and warmth after a long walk or standing
Reduced walking distance and avoidance of outings
Deformity or bow-legged appearance in long-standing knee arthritis

Common causes

Age-related cartilage wear, most commonly in the knee
Excess body weight increasing joint load
Previous ligament, meniscus or fracture injury
Quadriceps and gluteal weakness from inactivity
Rheumatoid and other inflammatory joint disease
Occupational squatting, kneeling and stair climbing

Our approach

Assessment: Joint range, swelling, muscle strength, walking pattern, stair and chair-rise ability, plus a baseline walking-distance and pain score so improvement is measurable.
Treatment: Pain relief with IFT, ultrasound, TENS or wax bath for hands, followed by isometric and progressive resistance work for the muscles supporting the joint, gentle mobilisation and gait retraining.
Home program: A short daily strengthening routine, joint protection rules for stairs and squatting, and advice on footwear, walking aids and activity pacing.

Techniques used

Isometric strengthening

Pain-free static holds that build quadriceps and hip strength even during a flare.

Progressive resistance training

Graded loading of knee, hip and trunk muscles to unload the arthritic joint.

Wax bath and thermotherapy

Deep heat that eases hand and small-joint stiffness before exercise.

Joint mobilisation

Manual glides to restore lost range and reduce capsular tightness.

Gait and aid training

Correct use of a stick or walker so the pattern protects rather than deforms the joint.

Recovery timeline

Weeks 1–2
Pain and swelling settle, morning stiffness shortens, isometric strength work begins.

Ongoing
Two or three strength sessions a week and periodic review to hold the gains.

Frequently asked questions

Will exercise wear my joint out faster?

No. Controlled strengthening and walking improve cartilage nutrition and reduce pain. It is uncontrolled impact and complete inactivity that make arthritis worse.

Can physiotherapy delay a knee replacement?

In mild to moderate arthritis, structured strengthening often reduces pain enough to postpone surgery. Severe bone-on-bone arthritis with deformity usually still needs surgical review.

Is heat or ice better?

Heat before exercise for stiffness, ice after activity if the joint swells. We tell you which applies at your stage.
