Hip & Knee Arthritis Physiotherapy at Home

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip or knee affects millions of people in the UK — but it is far more treatable than most people believe. The single most effective non-surgical treatment, recommended first-line by NICE, is structured exercise therapy combined with education and, where helpful, weight management. I previously delivered the hip and knee osteoarthritis exercise class and educational seminars for Mid Essex NHS services, and I bring that same structured approach into your home.
I treat patients at home across Coggeshall, Colchester, Braintree, Witham, Halstead, Kelvedon, Tiptree and Earls Colne — with travel included in the session fee. See full pricing here.
OA is not simply 'wear and tear' and exercise does not wear the joint out faster — quite the opposite. Understanding your condition is the first step to managing it confidently.
Stronger muscles around an arthritic hip or knee mean less pain, better function and greater independence. Programmes are gentle to start and progress at your pace, using your own home environment.
Good rehab can postpone or avoid joint replacement for many people. If surgery is the right path, 'prehab' beforehand measurably improves recovery — and I can continue your rehabilitation at home afterwards.
