Improve Mobility & Reduce Arthritis Pain with Southgate Physio

Arthritis affects millions of people worldwide, often leading to stiffness, swelling, and persistent joint pain. While medication can help manage symptoms, many patients benefit from a more holistic approach. At Southgate Physio, we provide tailored physiotherapy for arthritis pain management, helping patients across North London, Enfield, Barnet, and Hertfordshire move more freely and live with less discomfort.

Understanding Arthritis

Arthritis is not a single condition but a group of disorders that cause joint inflammation. The two most common types are:

• Osteoarthritis – wear and tear of joint cartilage, often linked to ageing or overuse.
• Rheumatoid arthritis – an autoimmune condition that causes joint inflammation and damage.

Both can significantly impact mobility and quality of life, making effective management essential.

How Physiotherapy Helps with Arthritis Pain

1. Pain Relief Techniques

Physiotherapists use manual therapy, joint mobilisation, and soft tissue release to ease stiffness and reduce discomfort in affected joints.

2. Exercise Therapy

Tailored strengthening and flexibility exercises protect joints, improve stability, and reduce the stress placed on painful areas.

3. Hydrotherapy & Low-Impact Activities

Water-based exercise and controlled movement programs support joints while allowing patients to stay active without excessive strain.

4. Posture & Movement Correction

Poor posture or movement habits can worsen arthritis pain. Physiotherapists provide guidance on safe movement patterns to reduce unnecessary joint pressure.

5. Lifestyle & Self-Management Advice

From pacing activities to ergonomic changes, physiotherapy empowers patients with practical strategies to manage symptoms day-to-day.
