Joint pain is a common issue that can affect people of all ages, limiting mobility and reducing overall quality of life. Physio Singapore offers physiotherapy treatments that address various causes of joint pain, including arthritis, sports injuries, and overuse injuries. Through tailored treatments such as manual therapy, strengthening exercises, and mobility techniques, physiotherapists help patients reduce pain, increase joint flexibility, and improve overall function.
Joint pain can arise from inflammation, wear and tear, or injury, and it can be particularly challenging when it impacts the daily movements necessary for work and leisure. Fortunately, physiotherapy provides effective relief and enables individuals to regain pain-free movement.
