🔹Osteoarthritis (OA) 🔹

▫️Commonly affects hips, knees, feet and hands but can affect any joint in the body.
▫️Most people will experience OA at some point in their life in at least one joint.
▫️Symptoms can vary, often with no obvious reason. Lots of people will develop OA and due to lack of symptoms may not notice right away.
▫️Xray is not needed to diagnose OA, a thorough history and physical assessment will help identify your problem and help come up with a plan to improve your symptoms.
▫️Whilst we can’t cure OA, with good education, exercise rehabilitation and lifestyle adjustments we can significantly improve symptoms and quality of life.

If you or someone you know is struggling with OA then drop us a DM or email [email protected] to get booked in!

🔹 Lower Back Pain 🔹

▫️People of any age can experience lower back pain, with the highest cases being people aged 50-54.
▫️Most people will experience it at least once in their life, left untreated can cause a significant impact on daily functioning and work related activities.
▫️90% of cases will be ‘non specific’ in nature, meaning there is no specific disease or underlying structural problem.
▫️Education and exercise rehabilitation is the most effective way to improve symptoms. Along side lifestyle changes and work related adjustments.

If you or someone you know is struggling with lower back pain then drop us a DM or email [email protected] to get booked in!

🔹Understanding MSK Conditions 🔹

▫️Musculoskeletal (MSK) refers to any pain or conditions that affect the bones, joints and muscles.
▫️MSK can cause issues with mobility, pain and dysfunction which often impacts people’s quality of life and ability to carry out day to day tasks.
▫️Is currently one of the biggest burdens on the NHS healthcare system.
▫️Research has shown that thorough assessment and appropriate management through exercise rehabilitation, lifestyle changes and education can significantly improve MSK health.
