Our Approach to Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in Australia — characterised by progressive degeneration of joint cartilage and changes to underlying bone. While osteoarthritis cannot be reversed, its symptoms and functional impact can be significantly managed through targeted exercise, manual therapy, and load optimisation. At Pro Health Clinic, osteoarthritis management focuses on maintaining function, reducing pain, and keeping patients active and independent.
Many patients with osteoarthritis are told they simply need to wait for joint replacement — but the evidence strongly supports conservative management for improving quality of life, reducing pain, and in many cases, delaying or avoiding surgery. Exercise is the single most evidence-supported intervention for osteoarthritis, and our practitioners design programs appropriate to each patient's current capacity and goals.
What We Treat

What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Osteoarthritis assessment includes clinical examination of the affected joint, strength assessment, functional capacity evaluation, and review of any existing imaging. Your practitioner will design a management plan that addresses both pain and function — not just one at the expense of the other.
