Arthritis Physiotherapy in Warrington – Pain Management & Rehabilitation
Living with arthritis can cause pain, stiffness and reduced movement, making everyday activities such as walking, exercising, working or spending time with family more difficult. At One Stop Physiotherapy in Warrington, our experienced physiotherapists provide personalised assessment, treatment and rehabilitation to help you manage your symptoms, improve movement and stay as active as possible.
Our Warrington physiotherapists take the time to understand how your condition affects you, assess your movement, strength and function, and create a treatment plan around your individual needs and goals.
What Type of Arthritis Do You Have?
Arthritis is a broad term covering different conditions that affect the joints. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form, but arthritis can also include inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.
The type of arthritis you have can affect how your symptoms are managed. At One Stop Physiotherapy, we assess your individual symptoms, movement and physical function and provide physiotherapy where appropriate. If your symptoms suggest that further medical assessment is required, we'll advise you to speak with your GP or another appropriate healthcare professional.

What Our Arthritis Clients say about us...
I have Hip Arthritis and went to see Shay expecting him to say that that it was too far gone to help me, instead he has given a program of exercises in addition to the ones that I am already doing and after only 5 days, I can feel an improvement.
