Chances are you know what arthritis is. The most common form is osteoarthritis, and you probably know at least one person living with it given that 13.6% of Canadians over 20 live with the condition¹. It can be a very painful condition that affects many aspects of your life, but receiving the diagnosis doesn’t have to spell doom and gloom for your future. Modern medicine has taken incredible leaps in the past several decades, and we have a much better understanding of the mechanisms and best course of treatment for many conditions and diseases, including osteoarthritis.

If you have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis or are concerned that you may be developing some osteoarthritic symptoms and don’t know what to about it, make sure to visit a physiotherapist and they can help lead you down the rehabilitative path!
