What Is Arthritis?
Arthritis is a broad term for conditions that affect the joints, causing pain, stiffness and sometimes swelling. The most common form is osteoarthritis, which involves gradual changes to the cartilage that cushions the joint, typically developing with age and often affecting the knees, hips, hands and spine.
Although arthritis is a long-term condition, the level of pain and disability it causes can vary enormously. Importantly, the strength and condition of the muscles around a joint have a significant effect on how that joint feels and functions, which is where physiotherapy can help a great deal.
Common Symptoms
Arthritis affects people differently, but the symptoms we most often help to manage include:
- Joint pain that may be worse with activity or after rest
- Stiffness, particularly first thing in the morning or after sitting
- Reduced range of movement in the affected joint
- A sense of weakness or instability around the joint
- Difficulty with everyday tasks such as walking, stairs or gripping
How Physiotherapy Helps Arthritis
It is a common misconception that arthritis means you should rest and avoid using the joint. In fact, appropriate movement and strengthening are among the most effective ways to manage the condition, strong, well-conditioned muscles support the joint and reduce the load it has to bear.
We start by understanding how arthritis is affecting you, assessing the involved joints, your movement and strength, and the impact on your daily life. From there we build a plan focused on your goals, walking further, climbing stairs more easily or simply being more comfortable day to day.
Hands-on therapy can help to ease pain and improve movement, while a personalised exercise programme builds the strength and mobility that protect and support your joints. We progress this carefully and sustainably, so activity becomes a manageable, beneficial part of your routine rather than something to fear.
Education and self-management are central to how we work. We explain your condition, show you how to manage flare-ups and give you the confidence to stay active, working alongside your GP or consultant where your care involves them.
Your Care May Include
- Joint, movement & strength assessment
- Hands-on manual therapy
- Personalised strengthening & mobility programme
- Flare-up management strategies
- Activity & self-management education

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Exercise Make My Arthritis Worse?
When done appropriately, exercise generally helps arthritis rather than harming it. Strengthening the muscles around a joint reduces the load on it and can ease pain. We design your programme to be safe and beneficial for your specific joints.
Can Physiotherapy Cure Arthritis?
Arthritis cannot be cured or reversed, but physiotherapy can make a real difference to your pain, movement and quality of life. The aim is to help you stay active, comfortable and independent, and to manage the condition well over the long term.
Should I Rest a Painful Arthritic Joint?
While rest may be needed during a flare-up, prolonged inactivity tends to make stiffness and weakness worse. We help you find the right balance, keeping the joint moving and the surrounding muscles strong.
Do I Need a Referral to Be Seen?
No referral is needed to book with Bodylogics, and you can arrange an appointment directly at any of our four North London clinics. If you intend to use private health insurance, your provider may request a referral first, so it is sensible to confirm with them beforehand.
Which Bodylogics Clinic Should I Visit?
We help people manage arthritis at all four of our North London clinics in Barnet, Whetstone, Winchmore Hill and Colindale. Tell us which clinic is easiest for you and we will get you booked in.
