Frequently Asked Questions
Can physiotherapy help both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis?
Yes. Both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis benefit from physiotherapy, though the approach differs. For rheumatoid arthritis, treatment is adapted to your current disease activity and should complement your rheumatologist's medication plan. For osteoarthritis, the focus is on joint mobilisation, strengthening, and activity modification. Always inform your physiotherapist of all current medications and recent disease changes.
Is physiotherapy for arthritis painful?
Home physiotherapy for arthritis is adapted to your current pain and mobility level. Your therapist works within a comfortable range and will not push joints into pain. Joint mobilisation may cause mild discomfort but should not cause significant pain. Exercises are designed to reduce, not worsen, pain over the course of treatment.
How often should I have physiotherapy for arthritis?
For ongoing arthritis management, sessions every 1–2 weeks combined with daily home exercises are typical. The frequency depends on your condition, pain level, and current goals. Your physiotherapist will recommend a schedule after the first assessment. Monthly packages provide consistent care at a reduced per-session cost.
