Is                       for me?

PhysiOA is for anyone who has, or suspects they may have, hip or knee osteoarthritis - regardless of age, background, or current activity level.

​

Osteoarthritis is often misunderstood as something that only affects older adults or means you should stop being active. At PhysiOA, the view is very different: OA can affect people at many stages of life, and with the right support, education, and rehabilitation, it is absolutely possible to move better, reduce pain, and stay active.

​

You do not need to be “pain-free” or “fit” to start, just willing to take the first step!

PhysiOA is right for you if:

  • You have been diagnosed with hip or knee osteoarthritis, or think it may be contributing to your symptoms

  • You want to better understand your condition, rather than feel confused or fearful about it

  • You are experiencing pain, stiffness, weakness, or reduced confidence in movement

  • You want to stay active, return to activity, or begin exercising in a safe and supported way

  • You are looking to manage symptoms long-term, not just short-term flare-ups

  • You want to prevent or delay surgery, or prepare your body if surgery may be needed in the future (pre-habilitation)

  • You have never had treatment and want clear, evidence-based guidance from the start

  • ​​

  • You do not need to be a runner, gym-goer, or athlete to work with PhysiOA. 

  • Equally, if you are active and want to keep doing the things you love, such as walking, running, gym training, sport, or day-to-day life without restriction, then this approach is designed to support that.

  • ​

  • All programmes are tailored to your goals, your lifestyle, and your current capacity, whether that means building confidence with basic movement or progressing higher-level strength and function.

  • This is not just for “elite” or “sporty” people
