Hi All I hope this is permitted, I have attached here the PDF document my brilliant hand therapist gave me in 2020 which I stuck to religiously and it works. @Zuccho77 following our chats on your threads you might like to try these.

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I've had pain in one knee, gradually getting worse, for 14 years and had an arthroscopy 12 years ago. I've had 3 X-rays on the knee showing gradual degeneration over the years, the last a year ago. I've had 2 steroid injections since last June, the 2nd of which only gave pain relief for a few…
Could there be some information made available giving techniques for getting in and out of bed after hip replacement surgery. And also the car. Knowing things like this can greatly help with recovery. And for after the six week milestone when the person feels ready getting in and out of the bath.

Hi there. I just wanted to know how you'd all dealt with the little physio exercises they discharge you with after hip replacement.

The first…
Hello I am 32 and have tried numerous workout programmes since being diagnosed with Hip Osteoarthritis as as a result of CAM Impingement 4 years ago. Some exercises work well for me but I do struggle to manage flare ups I was wondering if anyone here had had a positive experience with a personal trainer who just "gets it"…
Hi, I exercise following the versus arthritis videos with Jay, however I would like to find someone like him (or him!) to check which exercises I should / should not do / when, and ask questions about pain points flare ups etc. Where do I find physios specialised in arthritis? In London and also dare I ask abroad as I…
Hi, I have fairly severe arthritis in my knees and ankles. I also have mild arthritis in my wrists. I have my first appointment with a physio tomorrow but it is only by phone.
