living with osteoarthritis?
Living with Osteoarthritis can be a daily struggle, as it may limit your mobility and cause ongoing discomfort. Whether it’s affecting your knees, hips, hands, or spine, Osteoarthritis can make even simple tasks painful. At FORRM Strength and Recovery, we provide expert Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology services that help manage your Osteoarthritis symptoms, improve joint function, and enhance your quality of life.
Common osteoarthritis pain points.
Joint Stiffness and Limited Mobility: Many people with Osteoarthritis experience stiffness in their joints, especially after periods of inactivity, such as sitting for long periods or waking up in the morning. This stiffness can make it difficult to move freely and perform everyday tasks like walking, bending, or lifting.
Chronic Pain: The breakdown of cartilage in your joints can lead to chronic pain, particularly during or after movement. This ongoing pain can make it difficult to stay active, leading to further complications such as muscle weakness or decreased endurance.
Swelling and Inflammation: Osteoarthritis can cause swelling in the joints, often accompanied by tenderness and a feeling of warmth. This inflammation can make movement painful and limit your ability to perform even simple movements.
Reduced Strength and Function: Over time, Osteoarthritis can lead to a gradual reduction in the strength and function of the affected joint. This can make it difficult to engage in physical activities or maintain an active lifestyle, contributing to further muscle weakness and reduced joint stability.
