Managing Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis: Evidence-Based Solutions

Hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) can significantly impact your mobility and quality of life. At Well+Able Integrated Health, we understand that living with osteoarthritis can be challenging, but evidence shows there are effective ways to manage your symptoms and improve your overall well-being. Our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) specialize in therapies that can help you feel and move better, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Understanding Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a common joint condition that occurs when the cartilage that cushions your joints breaks down over time. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and swelling in the affected areas, especially in weight-bearing joints like the hips and knees. While there’s no cure for OA, a combination of treatments can help you manage your symptoms and maintain an active lifestyle.

Why Exercise Matters

Regular exercise is one of the most effective ways to manage osteoarthritis. It strengthens the muscles around your joints, improves flexibility, and reduces pain. Studies show that combining education about pain with a structured walking program can enhance physical activity levels and improve joint function. Our RMTs can provide guidance on safe and effective exercises tailored to your needs.

Benefits of Pool Exercise

If weight-bearing exercises are too painful, aquatic therapy can be a great alternative. Exercising in water reduces the strain on your joints while still allowing you to build strength and improve your range of motion. Many of our clients with knee osteoarthritis find that pool exercises help them stay active without exacerbating their symptoms.

The Role of Registered Massage Therapy

At Well+Able, our RMTs are skilled in manual therapy techniques, including DermoNeuroModulation (DNM). DNM focuses on gentle, pain-free treatments that aim to calm the nervous system and improve your body’s ability to move and heal. Here’s how massage therapy can help with osteoarthritis:

Reduce Pain: Gentle manual therapy can alleviate joint pain and stiffness.

Support Mobility: Massage therapy helps relax tight muscles and improve joint range of motion.

Personalized Care Plans

Your journey with osteoarthritis is unique, and your treatment should be too. At Well+Able, our RMTs work closely with you to create a personalized plan that may include manual therapy, exercises, and practical advice for managing your symptoms. This collaborative approach empowers you to take control of your health and see real results.

A Holistic Approach to Osteoarthritis

Managing osteoarthritis isn’t just about addressing the physical symptoms. It’s also about improving your overall quality of life. At Well+Able Integrated Health, we’re committed to supporting you through:

Education: Understanding how OA works and what you can do to manage it is a key part of your treatment plan.

Encouragement: We help you stay motivated to stick with your exercise routine and other treatments.

Compassionate Care: Our RMTs are here to listen and provide the care you need to feel your best.

Take the First Step

If you’re ready to take control of your hip or knee osteoarthritis, our team of experienced RMTs at Well+Able Integrated Health is here to help. We offer personalized treatments designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance your quality of life.

Hell yeah, let's go besties #DDofAB january 2025!! @dailydoseofaustinbutler / @slowsweetlove thank you for doing a january one for us 🫶

So I'm a swimmer, in a very loose sense. I used to be and now I grace the pool maybe once a month. I need to improve on that - so that's my new year's resolution. So have austin in a pool to start the year off right 🤭 Specifically in the carrie diaries because sebastian kydd rewired my brain chemistry.

I got lucky bc my primary sport was swimming (no standing) and yet still after every race at our meets i would be so weak and breathing so hard i would be barely able to pull myself out of the pool and then id have to sit behind the block for a minute just to recover. They were not lying about exercise intolerance

i'm sharing this because i need to tell someone. i was an excellent boob. art worthy. marble statue worthy. if i hadn't been praying for lightning to strike me, i'd have complimented her.
