Physiotherapy for Joint Pain, Stiffness & Mobility
Are you struggling with stiff, painful joints that are starting to limit your lifestyle? You’re not alone. Arthritis is one of the most common causes of chronic joint pain and disability in Australia, especially in people over 40.
At Spine & Sports Physiotherapy in Bunbury, we specialise in helping people manage their arthritis symptoms with hands-on physiotherapy, exercise, and expert guidance—so you can stay mobile, independent, and doing what you love.
What is Arthritis?
Arthritis refers to inflammation or degeneration of the joints, often caused by “wear and tear” over time. It most commonly affects weight-bearing joints such as the hips, knees, and lower back, though the fingers, shoulders and other joints can also be affected.
There is currently no cure for arthritis, but physiotherapy is one of the most effective ways to reduce pain, maintain movement, and avoid joint replacement surgery.
Common Symptoms of Arthritis
If you’re experiencing the following symptoms, arthritis may be the cause:
Ongoing joint pain and tenderness
Morning stiffness that improves with movement
Swelling or heat around the affected joints
Clicking, grinding, or creaking noises during movement
Difficulty moving or bending the joint
Joint deformity or constant pain as it worsens
Arthritis symptoms tend to worsen gradually. Seeking early treatment can help reduce long-term damage and delay progression.
What Causes Arthritis?
There are over 100 types of arthritis, but the most common type—osteoarthritis—results from gradual cartilage breakdown. You’re more likely to develop arthritis if you have:
A previous joint injury
A job with repetitive manual labour or heavy lifting
A family history of arthritis
Excess body weight, which places more strain on joints
Poor biomechanics or postural issues
Arthritis can affect anyone at any age, although it’s more common after age 40.
