Have you been told that Arthritis is ‘inevitable for somebody of your age?
Have you been to see the GP and been told that there isn’t anything they can really do, but here’s some painkillers for you to take for the rest of your life?
Are you in constant pain from your Arthritis?
Did you think the pain would go away by itself if you wished it away?
Did you try some ‘Arthritis Exercises’ that you found on the internet and notice that they didn’t make the slightest difference to your Joint Pain?
Have you been to see all manner of ‘Specialists’ and nothing they have recommended has helped?
Do you find it difficult to get up after sitting for a little bit?
Can you tell when it is raining, even without looking outside?
If you have answered ‘YES’ to any of these questions, then you might feel like you have to live the rest of your life managed by your Painful Joints and Arthritis.
BUT, we are here to tell you that it can be different. Arthritis in any form doesn’t have to feel like a life sentence. We can help you regain some of your independence and get you back to doing some of the things that you had to stop because of the pain.
How? Our Expert Physiotherapists, Raj Gandhi and Mohana Nedunchezian worked for many years in the NHS and specialised in Rheumatology, before setting up Chester’s Best Physiotherapy Clinic for People with Arthritis.
Many people follow the advice that they are given and just accept the pain and the stiffness as their lot in life to endure. But, staying inactive and not moving won’t make your pain magically go away. In fact, it will just make it worse.
Resting won’t help you sleep better at night – the pain that wakes you up will become more intense. The joints will just get stiffer and stiffer until your whole mobility has been affected and you become dependent on somebody else to help you do the things that you used to take for granted.
And everybody who told you what would happen was right. A self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts. But, your mistake was LISTENING to them. There are good choices that you can make that will help you and slow down the march of Arthritis.
You are probably finding everyday activities such as dressing, washing, cooking, walking or driving difficult. You might even have somebody to help you for many of these which is having a toll on you as you used to be so independent.
Their help is indispensable, but it doesn’t help you. Whilst trying to protect you and help you, they are contributing to the weakening of your joints and the worsening of your condition.
It sounds cruel, but often the best type of help is self-help and this means calling Relive Physiotherapy today to talk to Raj and see what he would recommend!

It is a degenerative joint disease that primarily impacts the cartilage in the joints, causing pain, stiffness, and loss of function. As one of the most common joint disorders, understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options available for Osteoarthritis is crucial for managing the condition effectively.
Inflammatory Arthritis is a longstanding autoimmune condition that primarily affects the joints and back, causing pain, inflammation, and eventual joint damage. It affects over 400,000 adults aged 16 and over in the UK. It can affect anyone of any age. It can progress quickly, so early diagnosis and intensive treatment are important. The sooner you start treatment, the more effective it’s likely to be.
Unlike Osteoarthritis, which is primarily related to wear and tear, Inflammatory Arthritis (hyperlink) involves the immune system mistakenly attacking the body's tissues, leading to inflammation in the joints and spine. This disease can impact a person’s daily life, making everyday tasks increasingly difficult due to the pain and stiffness it causes.
