What Is Arthritis?
Arthritis is a condition that affects the joints, causing pain, inflammation, stiffness, and reduced movement. It can affect any joint in the body but is most commonly found in the knees, hips, hands, feet, shoulders, and spine.
Although arthritis cannot always be cured, physiotherapy can play a vital role in managing symptoms and slowing the progression of functional decline.
