  • Practical coping strategies
  • Nutrition advice
  • Multidisciplinary team support.

Staying active is the first line of treatment

Research shows that hip and knee osteoarthritis sufferers who take part in supervised exercise and education programmes benefit from reduced pain, improved physical function, more physical activity and better quality of life. The reliance on painkillers and sick leave is also reduced. And, the exercise also positively affects other chronic diseases and improves general health and wellbeing.

With the move to Alert Level 2 – We are now able to see clients via Telehealth or in person. Body In Motion is implementing the necessary hygiene protocols to ensure our clients and staff are kept safe.

Telehealth is recommended if you are immunocompromised, pregnant, 70+ or have underlying health conditions. One of our friendly physios will be able to assist you remotely to reduce any risk to exposure. However, if you do need hands-on treatment we have procedures in place to protect you.

For those clients wishing to be seen in person – if any of the following apply to you, please seek medical advice and testing prior to making a booking and coming onsite to our clinics:

–          Cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose or loss of smell

–          You have been in contact in the last two weeks with others who have been unwell with respiratory symptoms or fever

We have online bookings available, or feel free to fill out a contact form on our website or call and speak to one of our friendly admin staff on 07 927 3330.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding, our team are very much looking forward to serving our community again.
