Arthritis Program

Arthritis Program Arthritis is one of the most common ailments suffered by Canadians. As many as 1 in 3 people suffer from Osteoarthritis which is the most common form. "Arth" means "joint" and "itis" means inflammation. Do you have pain, inflammation, or stiffness in your joints? Ask yourself the following questions to see if arthritis could be causing your discomfort:

  1. Have you had pain or stiffness in your joints for 3 or more days a week for the last month?
    Yes No

  2. Have you had swelling in your joints for 3 or more days a week for the last month?
    Yes No

  3. Do you have stiffness in your joints, especially after not moving for an extended period of time (eg, moving in the morning)?
    Yes No

  4. Do you have pain or discomfort in a joint that has a history of injury?
    Yes No

If you answered yes, to 2 or more of these questions, you may be suffering from arthritis-like symptoms. Based on the most current research and recommendations from the Arthritis Society of Canada, the UOP Arthritis Program is leading the way in innovative, effective treatment for arthritis. After your assessment, your therapist will tailor a program that includes Education, Exercise and Pain Management. Just a few treatments could mean the difference between better quality of life or a long wait for surgery. Call to book your assessment.
