Osteoarthritis is defined as the premature wearing out of joint cartilage. The main causes of this deterioration are aging, trauma or repeated shocks.

It generally occurs in people over the age of 40, although it can also affect younger people. Those affected experience morning stiffness that reduces activity. Pain, which is rarely experienced at rest, most often targets joints in the back, knees and hips. The pain is accompanied by a loss of mobility, creaking and stiffness. While there is no cure for osteoarthritis, symptoms can be relieved. Physiotherapy can help you with the application of heat, massages, exercises and mobilization of affected joints. Implementing good joint protection and energy conservation techniques can also make a significant difference in pain management . Don't hesitate to contact us!
