What happens next
Assessment, treatment, and progress
Choose meaningful goals
We discuss symptoms, previous care and the tasks you want to do more easily. Your assessment helps establish a realistic starting point and whether medical review is needed.
Build a manageable routine
Exercises and activity are matched to your current ability. We discuss how to balance activity with rest and avoid repeatedly doing too much, then stopping completely.
Track daily function
We review what you can do and how you respond, rather than judging progress only by a pain score. Your plan changes as your tolerance and goals change.

Can physiotherapy help with arthritis?
Exercise is an important part of managing osteoarthritis. We can help you choose manageable strengthening and movement exercises and adapt them to your daily activities. Physiotherapy does not cure arthritis; the aim is to support symptoms and function.
Do I need a diagnosis before booking?
You can book a self-pay appointment to discuss pain, stiffness or movement difficulties without a diagnosis. Bring relevant medical information if you have it. For private insurance, check your plan's referral and authorisation requirements.
What if getting to the clinic is difficult?
Contact us about access requirements before your visit. If you need care at home, you can explore Nexus Home Physio through our home-visit page and check the available coverage.
