Understanding Hip Osteoarthritis
Hip osteoarthritis leads to joint stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility over time, often impacting daily activities. At Reliefic Physiotherapy, a detailed assessment helps identify mobility restrictions and functional limitations. Treatment focuses on manual therapy, strengthening exercises, and movement retraining to improve joint function and overall quality of life.
