Arthritis Physiotherapy Singapore

What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation and degeneration of the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced movement.

There are over 100 types of arthritis, but the most common is osteoarthritis, which occurs due to wear and tear of joint cartilage.

As cartilage wears down, joints become painful and stiff, making everyday activities more difficult.

Many patients describe:

• “My joints feel stiff in the morning”
• “Pain when walking or climbing stairs”
• “My knees hurt when I stand for long”

If you are looking for arthritis physiotherapy in Singapore, ACE Physio Sports can help you manage symptoms and stay active.

What Causes Arthritis?

Arthritis can develop due to several factors:

• Age-related wear and tear
• Previous joint injuries
• Repetitive strain on joints
• Obesity (increased joint load)
• Genetic factors
• Inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis)

Over time, these factors lead to cartilage breakdown, joint stiffness, and pain.

Symptoms of Arthritis

Symptoms often develop gradually and worsen over time.

Common symptoms include:

• Joint pain during movement
• Stiffness (especially in the morning)
• Reduced range of motion
• Swelling around joints
• Grinding or clicking sensation in joints
• Muscle weakness and fatigue

Daily challenges may include:

• Difficulty walking or climbing stairs
• Pain when standing for long periods
• Trouble gripping objects (hands)

Patients often search:

• “Why are my joints stiff in the morning?”
• “Knee pain when climbing stairs”
• “Joint pain when walking long distance”
• “Why do my joints hurt more with age?”
• “Stiff joints after sitting for long time”

What Should I Do If I Have Arthritis?

Early management helps slow progression and improve quality of life.

At ACE Physio Sports, we assess:

• Joint movement and stiffness
• Muscle strength
• Functional limitations

You should: ✔ Stay active with guided exercises ✔ Seek physiotherapy early ✔ Manage weight to reduce joint stress ✔ Follow a structured treatment plan

What Shouldn’t I Do?

Avoid these common mistakes:

✖ Avoiding movement completely ✖ Ignoring persistent joint pain ✖ Overloading painful joints ✖ Poor posture or movement habits ✖ Skipping strengthening exercises

Too much rest can worsen stiffness.
