Osteoarthritis

• Improve mobility
• Maintain joint range of motion
• Reduce discomfort
• Optimise muscle mass
• Improve confidence in movement 
• Owner education on home management, adaptation and exercise

• Individual exercise programmes
• Massage and stretching to address hypertonicity
• Strengthening via remedial exercise to address atrophy and weakness
• Balance exercises 
• Environmental advice ongoing (likely to change as the disease progresses)

The aim is not simply to reduce pain but to maintain independence, function and quality of life for as long as possible.
