How Chair-Based Physiotherapy Can Help Women Over 45 Manage Osteoarthritis
As we age, keeping active becomes more challenging, especially when dealing with conditions like osteoarthritis. Many women over 45 experience joint stiffness, discomfort, and reduced mobility due to wear and tear on the joints. However, staying active is one of the best ways to manage osteoarthritis, ease discomfort, and maintain independence—and that is exactly what our free weekly group physiotherapy sessions at the United Multicultural Centre in Rotherham are designed to help with!
Led by a qualified chartered physiotherapist, these chair-based sessions provide safe, effective, and low-impact exercises that can help ease joint discomfort and improve movement.
How Chair-Based Physiotherapy Helps with Osteoarthritis
Reduces Joint Stiffness – Gentle movements help lubricate the joints, reducing stiffness and making daily activities easier.
Strengthens Muscles Around the Joints – By strengthening supporting muscles, we reduce pressure on the joints and improve stability.
Improves Flexibility and Range of Motion – Stretching and movement exercises help increase joint flexibility, making it easier to bend, reach, and walk comfortably.
Eases Discomfort Without Strain – Chair-based exercises are low-impact, meaning they help ease discomfort without putting too much stress on the joints.
Prevents Falls and Builds Confidence – Improved strength and balance make everyday movements safer, reducing the risk of falls.
A Friendly and Supportive Environment
These weekly sessions are not just about exercise—they offer a welcoming space to connect with others, get professional advice, and feel supported. Many women who join our classes have never attended a physiotherapy session before, but quickly feel the benefits of movement in a relaxed and encouraging environment.
Plus, after the session, there is time to enjoy free refreshments and chat with other participants.
