Physiocare's Experience in Action
Understanding Arthritis Care at Physiocare
At Physiocare Physiotherapy Clinic–Ottawa, our arthritis care blends clinical acumen and translational science. We draw upon evidence such as EULAR and OARSI guidelines confirming that therapeutic exercise and physical activity significantly improve disease activity, function, and quality of life in osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis.
Recent Canadian funding further supports innovations in preventing post-op chronic pain and improving early osteoarthritis care — demonstrating our commitment to integrating leading-edge research into practice
How Arthritis Care Works?
Each arthritis-care plan starts with in-depth assessment: biomechanical analysis, joint range, strength, inflammation signs, and pain biomarkers.
Physiocare’s interventions include:
- Therapeutic exercise (strength, aerobic, neuromotor) per recent meta-reviews
- Manual therapy to enhance joint mobility
- Hydrotherapy—warm water immersion easing pain and stiffness
- Self-management techniques—education, boosters, cognitive strategies to sustain adherence in chronic OA
Recent studies affirm supervised, bespoke exercise regimens deliver superior pain relief and long-term functional gains compared to passive modalities

Physiocare addresses a spectrum of arthritic disorders, offering benefits like enhanced mobility, reduced pain, improved joint protection:
Major Conditions Treat with Arthritis
- Knee Osteoarthritis: Cartilage breakdown causing pain/stiffness—treated with strength training, manual/mobilization therapies.
