Arthritis Physiotherapy in Cornwall

Helping You Stay Active with Arthritis

Arthritis is one of the most common causes of joint pain and stiffness. Whether it’s osteoarthritis (wear and tear) or inflammatory arthritis (such as rheumatoid arthritis), the condition can make daily life more challenging. At Kernow Physio, we help people across Cornwall manage arthritis symptoms, improve mobility, and maintain independence through expert physiotherapy and tailored exercise programmes.

Understanding Arthritis

Arthritis affects people in different ways, but common symptoms include:

• Joint pain and stiffness, especially after rest
• Swelling or inflammation
• Reduced range of movement
• Difficulty with everyday activities

While arthritis cannot always be “cured,” physiotherapy plays a vital role in reducing pain, maintaining joint health, and improving quality of life.
