Osteoarthritis
Knees, hips and hands that ache and stiffen. Manageable with the right approach, and you do not have to work that out on your own.
How we work on it
Osteoarthritis is manageable with the right approach and you do not have to figure that out on your own. At Excape Healthcare this is exactly the kind of programme we build: individual to you, progressive and grounded in evidence.
Exercise is the first-line recommendation for osteoarthritis in every major clinical guideline, ahead of injections or surgery. The problem is rarely knowing that. It is finding somebody who can turn it into a programme that respects a sore joint without treating you as fragile.
- Finding the load the joint tolerates today, then building from it
- Strengthening the muscle around the joint rather than resting it
- Pacing progression to the joint, not to a calendar
- Getting back to the specific things you have stopped doing
This is exercise coaching, not medical treatment. If you have a diagnosed condition, or symptoms that are new, severe or worsening, speak to your GP or consultant first. We are happy to work alongside them.
Before any programme is written, we measure.
Strength, movement and capacity, recorded properly so we can repeat the same tests later and see what actually changed.
