How Can Arthritis Physiotherapy Help You Move Better and Feel Better?

Arthritis affects millions globally and is characterized by inflammation and joint pain, which can impede mobility and hinder daily tasks. Although it can occur at any age, arthritis is more prevalent in older adults. The two most commonly diagnosed types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, but numerous other variations exist.
