Osteoarthritis is the most common joint condition worldwide — affecting an estimated 10% of men and 18% of women over 60 according to the World Health Organization. It is characterised by progressive cartilage degradation, bone changes and joint inflammation — producing pain, stiffness and reduced function that significantly impacts quality of life and independence.

Despite the common misconception that osteoarthritis is simply "wear and tear" that must be endured or managed only with medication, the evidence is clear: exercise and physiotherapy are among the most effective treatments available — producing improvements in pain and function that are comparable to or greater than those achieved with medication, and without the side effects. At Interlink Physiotherapy we help patients across Ancaster and Hamilton understand and manage their osteoarthritis effectively — maintaining independence and quality of life for as long as possible.
