Online Physiotherapy for Arthritis
Individual exercise guidance for joint movement and everyday function alongside your existing arthritis care.
* No payment required for the first consultation.
Joint pain and stiffness can affect walking, dressing and other daily activities. FitMe Physio offers online exercise guidance and functional rehabilitation adapted to your arthritis diagnosis and current symptoms. Physiotherapy supports movement alongside medical care, with the plan adjusted to your needs.
How do we assess movement with arthritis?
Your physiotherapist considers your arthritis diagnosis, affected joints, current medical care and the activities you want to improve.
Understand your symptoms
Discuss stiffness, joint swelling, flare-ups and how walking, dressing or using your hands is affected.
Review current abilities
Suitable movements on camera help plan exercises around your mobility and tolerance.
Agree achievable goals
Choose priorities and discuss follow-up alongside your existing medical treatment.
What can an arthritis exercise plan include?
Exercise supports function and symptom management; it does not cure arthritis. Different types of arthritis and periods of active inflammation need different approaches.
- Joint movement and strengthening exercises tailored to your assessment.
- Guidance on balancing activity and rest when symptoms fluctuate.
- Progress reviews based on everyday tasks and your response to exercise.
When should arthritis symptoms be reviewed medically?
Online exercise support complements care from your doctor or rheumatology team. Seek urgent medical assessment for a suddenly very painful swollen joint, a hot or red joint, or joint pain with fever or chills. New unexplained swelling or persistent stiffness also needs medical advice.
Prepare for your arthritis consultation
Choose a comfortable space and tell your physiotherapist if symptoms are currently flaring.
- Have your diagnosis, current treatment and any movement restrictions available.
- Note which joints and daily activities are most affected.
- Position the camera to show the relevant movement without forcing a painful joint.

Arthritis and joint-care information
Learn about different arthritis types and joint problems. These guides support discussion with your healthcare team rather than establishing a diagnosis.
Unable to find your specific condition?
Discuss your joint symptoms, existing diagnosis and daily goals. New or unexplained swelling may need medical assessment before rehabilitation is planned.
Questions about online physiotherapy for arthritis
Is exercise useful for osteoarthritis?
Tailored therapeutic exercise is a core part of osteoarthritis care. The routine should reflect the affected joints, your function and other health needs.
Can physiotherapy cure arthritis?
No. Physiotherapy can support movement, strength and symptom management. Medical treatment remains important, particularly for inflammatory arthritis.
What if I am having a flare-up?
Tell your physiotherapist about changes in pain and swelling. Exercise may need adjustment, and a hot, suddenly swollen joint or fever requires medical assessment.
Can I start without an arthritis diagnosis?
You can discuss your symptoms, but unexplained persistent joint swelling or stiffness needs medical investigation. An online exercise plan cannot confirm every arthritis type.
