Treatment
Rheumatology Physiotherapy
Living with arthritis, inflammatory joint disease, or an autoimmune condition asks for specialist physiotherapy. We work alongside your rheumatologist to keep you moving and functioning well — through flares, remission, and everything in between.

How rheumatology rehab works
Our Rheumatology Approach
Detailed Clinical Assessment
We review your diagnosis, current medication, and disease activity, then assess joint protection, range, and strength priorities.
Joint Protection & Manual Therapy
Hands-on techniques, splinting advice and mobility work that respects inflamed joints and preserves long-term function.
Strengthening & Conditioning
Progressive strength and aerobic conditioning dosed to current symptoms — building capacity without provoking flares.
Pacing & Self-Management
Energy management, flare planning, and home exercise programmes you can adapt yourself based on disease activity.
Conditions we treat
Rheumatological Conditions We Treat
Inflammatory and degenerative joint disease responds well to informed physiotherapy. We work in partnership with your rheumatologist or specialist throughout.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Joint protection, hand therapy, and strengthening that supports your medication plan rather than competing with it.
Osteoarthritis
Evidence-based exercise, manual therapy, and load management — particularly for hip, knee, hand, and spine OA.
Ankylosing Spondylitis
Postural work, mobility maintenance, and progressive strength to preserve spinal range and function.
Psoriatic Arthritis
Mixed presentations of joint, tendon, and enthesis involvement — assessed and managed across all three.
Lupus-Related Pain
Pacing, fatigue management, and joint care for the musculoskeletal manifestations of lupus.
Gout
Acute-flare management and longer-term joint preservation between episodes.
Polymyalgia Rheumatica
Maintaining range and strength while supporting steroid-tapering and stiffness management.
Post-Inflammatory Joint Stiffness
Restoring movement after a flare — gradually, without restarting the inflammatory cycle.
Fibromyalgia & Widespread Pain
Graded activity and pacing for pain that crosses the rheumatology/musculoskeletal boundary.
