Arthritis

Arthritis is joint pain, stiffness, and swelling caused by inflammation in one or more joints. The most common types, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, affect different people differently, but the day-to-day symptoms feel similar: stiffness in the morning, pain with activity, and joints that feel like they’re grinding. Physiotherapy can’t reverse arthritis, but it can dramatically reduce pain, improve mobility, and slow further damage.

Common causes of Arthritis

• Some types of arthritis are genetic or inherited
