Knee and joint pain treatment
Joint pain narrows what you are willing to do, and the narrowing makes the joint worse. Graded, supervised movement is how that loop is broken.
How we approach it
Load is the point. Too little and the joint deteriorates, too much and it flares. A physiotherapist sets the starting load, and therapeutic yoga maintains range and strength around the joint without impact. Acupuncture is considered where chronic pain is the limiting factor. The 5 pm seniors and therapeutic batch is paced for exactly this group.
What we do not claim
We work on movement, strength and pain management. We do not treat inflammatory arthritis, which needs rheumatological care. If you are on disease-modifying medication, stay on it and tell us at the consultation.

Questions people ask
I cannot get down to the floor. Can I still do yoga?
Yes. Practice can be done seated and standing throughout. Floor work is not a requirement.
Is there a batch for older people?
The 5 pm to 6 pm seniors and therapeutic batch runs Monday to Friday, at the centre and online.
Does acupuncture help with joint pain?
It is one of the options we consider for chronic pain, decided at consultation rather than offered by default. It is delivered by Dr Rani Mathew, who holds a postgraduate diploma in acupuncture.
