If any of these feel familiar, physiotherapy may be a meaningful step toward lasting arthritis pain relief.
At West Henday Physical Therapy, we offer arthritis physiotherapy in Edmonton for individuals with arthritis to help reduce pain, restore movement, and improve how your joints feel and function day to day.
Physiotherapy doesn’t “cure” arthritis, but it can slow its progression, reduce pain, and improve mobility so you can move more freely, safely, and confidently.
By focusing on gentle movement, strengthening, and joint protection strategies, physiotherapy supports long-term comfort and independence without relying solely on medication.
At West Henday Physical Therapy, we provide Arthritis Physiotherapy in Edmonton for a wide range of arthritis-related conditions, whether you’re managing early stiffness or dealing with long-standing joint degeneration.
We offer individual treatment plans for:
The most common form of arthritis is caused by the gradual wear and tear of joint cartilage. Often affects the knees, hips, hands, or spine. We help you manage daily stiffness, improve joint function, and stay active without worsening symptoms.
An autoimmune condition that causes joint inflammation, fatigue, and pain in multiple areas. Our care focuses on joint protection, energy conservation, and improving strength and mobility between flare-ups.
Joint pain that develops after an injury such as a fracture, dislocation, or ligament tear. We work to restore joint health, movement, and strength following recovery from trauma.
We support individuals with psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other inflammatory joint conditions. Treatment focuses on mobility, pain management, and maintaining joint integrity long-term.
Even after joint surgery, stiffness and weakness can linger. We offer post-surgical rehab focused on range of motion, gait retraining, and functional movement following procedures such as knee or hip replacements.
If your joints are becoming more painful or less mobile with age, we help improve flexibility, joint support, and overall function — even without a formal arthritis diagnosis.
We use a combination of hands-on treatment, guided movement, and individualized physiotherapy exercises to relieve joint pain and improve function. Your sessions may include:
Includes gentle movement, posture correction, and relaxation strategies to reduce inflammation and pressure on joints.
Used to release tight muscles and surrounding tissues that may be compensating for joint pain or limited movement.
We coach you on how to adjust the way you move, lift, and carry to reduce strain on affected joints, while still staying active. This includes safe ways to bend, reach, or get up from a chair or bed.
We advise when to use heat or cold to ease symptoms like stiffness or inflammation and show you how to apply these at home as part of your self-care routine.
For arthritis in the neck, spine, or upper body, we help you improve posture, work setup, and movement patterns, reducing strain throughout your day.
Strengthening exercises that support and stabilize the joints, along with stretching to ease tension and improve flexibility.
It helps improve coordination and reduce the risk of falls or joint strain, which is especially important for hip, knee, and ankle arthritis.
If joint pain or instability is making walking or standing difficult, we’ll assess and recommend supportive tools like braces, canes, or walkers — only when truly necessary — and teach you how to use them properly.
We guide you on how to move safely at home, protect your joints during daily tasks, and pace your activity to avoid flare-ups.
