what is osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is a disease of the whole joint, it can affect the joint cartilage as well as the ligaments, muscles and tissue surrounding the joint.
It is a widely common joint disease among the Australian population

how can osteoarthritis affect you?
There are effective treatments available for osteoarthritis sufferers, such as the GLA:D program, which is a structured exercise program to decrease pain and improve the strength of your joints.
Patients often report reduced quality of life, pain in the morning or after activity, joint stiffness and loss of range of motion, swelling, inflammation of the joint and a reduced ability to perform daily tasks such as getting in/out of a chair or going up or down stairs.
This is why strength training and exercise are so important. It can maintain or improve your function on daily activities as well as reducing your pain.
