Arthritis

Arthritis:

Wear and tear on joints is normal but can become painful and limiting. Physiotherapy treatment can minimise the effect of this process. A specific exercise and strengthening programme can strengthen joints and greatly improve mobility. Treatment before and after joint replacement can greatly speed up your recovery and help you get maximum benefit from a new joint.

Treatments at Kilkenny Physiotherapy for Arthritic joints include:

• Ultrasound to reduce swelling
• Shockwave to mobilise ligaments and tendons
• Specific prescription exercises to strengthen weak muscle
• Deep tissue massage to reduce pain
