Joint pain & arthritis

Keep your joints moving well.

Joint pain does not have to mean giving up the things you enjoy. The right movement is often the best medicine.

In short

Can physiotherapy help arthritis and joint pain?

Yes. Exercise-based physiotherapy is a recommended first treatment for osteoarthritis and stiff, painful joints. At GetFysio in Koramangala, Bengaluru, we ease pain and stiffness, strengthen the muscles that support your joints, and help you keep doing the things you enjoy.

Sounds familiar?

You might recognise some of this.

Joint pain can make everyday things feel harder, from climbing stairs to a good night’s sleep. Many people are told to rest their joints, but for most joint problems the right kind of movement helps more than rest.

We help you understand your joints, ease the pain and build the strength to keep doing what matters to you.

  • Knee pain on stairs, squatting or getting out of a chair
  • Hip or groin pain when walking or lying on one side
  • A shoulder that hurts when you reach, lift or sleep on it
  • Stiff joints in the morning or after sitting
  • You have been told you have osteoarthritis

FAQ

Common questions.

Will exercise make my arthritis worse?

The right exercise usually helps. We start at a level your joint can manage and build up gradually.

Can physiotherapy help me avoid surgery?

For many people, a structured programme reduces pain and improves function enough to delay or avoid surgery. We will talk honestly about your options.

Is my joint pain just age?

Age is part of the picture, but strength, movement and load matter too, and those can change at any age.
