- Formerly Osteo and Physio Epsom
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition caused by the gradual breakdown of cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It commonly affects weight-bearing joints like the knees, hips, and spine, but it can occur in any joint.
Osteopaths focus on improving joint function and relieving pain through gentle manual techniques that reduce stiffness, improve circulation, and enhance mobility. They also help to strengthen the surrounding muscles, which can support the joints and reduce strain. Additionally, osteopaths provide advice on exercises, lifestyle modifications, and pain management strategies to improve quality of life for those living with osteoarthritis.
