Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects millions of people worldwide, primarily as we age. This condition occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints. Osteoarthritis commonly affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine, making even simple movements painful and difficult. At Surge Wellness, we understand the impact that osteoarthritis can have on your quality of life and are committed to helping you manage your symptoms and improve your joint function with personalized care.
Living with osteoarthritis can limit your ability to perform daily activities, leading to reduced mobility and independence. Early diagnosis and a proactive approach to treatment are essential in managing this chronic condition and preventing further joint damage. At Surge Wellness, we offer a combination of physiotherapy and registered massage therapy designed to reduce pain, enhance mobility, and improve your overall joint health. Our team is dedicated to helping you maintain an active lifestyle and alleviate the discomfort caused by osteoarthritis.
At Surge Wellness, we take a holistic approach to treating osteoarthritis by combining physiotherapy and registered massage therapy. Our physiotherapists work with you to develop a customized exercise program that strengthens the muscles around the affected joints, improves flexibility, and enhances joint function. Manual therapy techniques, such as joint mobilization and soft tissue manipulation, are also used to relieve stiffness, reduce pain, and restore proper movement patterns. We focus on managing your symptoms and preventing further progression of osteoarthritis through targeted interventions.
Massage therapy is an important part of osteoarthritis treatment, helping to relieve muscle tension, reduce joint stiffness, and promote relaxation. Our registered massage therapists use techniques like myofascial release, deep tissue massage, and trigger point therapy to enhance circulation and decrease inflammation around the affected joints. By integrating physiotherapy with massage therapy, we provide a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both the symptoms and the underlying causes of osteoarthritis, helping you achieve long-term pain relief and improved joint mobility.
Physiotherapy is effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including back pain, sports injuries, arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and neurological disorders. It helps with pain management and mobility improvement.
A typical physiotherapy session lasts between 45 minutes to an hour, depending on your treatment plan and the complexity of your condition.
In most cases, a referral is not required to see a physiotherapist. However, some insurance providers may require one for coverage purposes, so it’s best to check with your provider.
The number of sessions varies depending on the severity of your condition and your personal recovery goals. Your physiotherapist will assess your needs and recommend an appropriate treatment schedule.
