Unlocking the Power of Exercise Physiology in Osteoarthritis Management
Exercise Physiology provides a tailored, scientific approach to managing osteoarthritis. As specialists, Exercise Physiologists use their knowledge of how the body responds to physical activity to develop effective, personalised exercise regimens.
A carefully planned programme can maintain joint flexibility, muscle strength, and overall mobility, alleviating osteoarthritis symptoms and enhancing your quality of life.
