Osteoarthritis
Do you suffer from knee or hip pain?
Is it stopping you from enjoying your active leisure activities?
Would you prefer to cut back on your medication?
Osteoarthritis has been traditionally managed with medication, rest and ultimately joint replacement surgery. New scientific research has shown that a strengthening exercise program combined with pain modifying strategies tailored to your needs can significantly improve your quality of life and significantly reduce your need for medication. Empower Rehab was one of only ten clinics in Australia involved in a major scientific study with the Universities of Melbourne and Queensland, evaluating the most effective treatment techniques for osteoarthritis of the knee.
Empower Rehab provide unique physiotherapy treatment based on the latest scientific evidence to help you to return to all facets of your life including your leisure activities, keeping on top of your house work and returning or coping with work.
