Get the most out of your Arthrosamid® injection with our free online rehab programme

Deciding what to do to help manage your knee osteoarthritis can be difficult. We’re here to help make that decision easier.

Knee osteoarthritis can’t be cured but we believe, with a long-term commitment to exercise, there is a better chance of living a more active life that is less affected by knee pain.

We’ve teamed up with two experienced physiotherapists to guide you on your rehabilitation and recovery journey:

Charlie Goodchild

Charlie is the founder of Better, an experienced physiotherapist and has been working since 2010, in the field of musculoskeletal physiotherapy, Charlie has developed his broad skillset in complex cases, persistent/chronic pain, exercise prescription/rehabilitation, sports injuries, and post-operative rehabilitation.

Movement is good for everybody, at any stage of arthritis. The key is to choose exercise that is best suited to your current abilities.

Step 2

To help with this process, Charlie and Nick have created three exercise plans aimed at three groups:

Early stage: for those that haven’t exercised much before or not for a long time, and have higher levels of discomfort during movement,
Intermediate: for those that have been moderately active in recent years and have less discomfort with day-to-day activities, and
Advanced: for those that have been regularly active for many years and may have used a gym to help keep fit in the recent past.

Step 2

Step 3

To help decide which exercise group you are in, Charlie and Nick have designed a short questionnaire.

Access the questionnaire below and answer the questions as honestly as you can. You will then be directed to which level of exercise with which you should start.

These questions are adapted from the Oxford Knee Score questions 1, 4, 5, 9, and 12, and from the MSK-HQ questions 9, 11, and 13.

Step 3

Step 4

Each person will require different amount of exercise to achieve optimal results. We recommend working with an experienced clinician to help individuals with the exercise to meet their needs and capabilities.

The exercise dose parameters are merely a guide and should not be considered medical advice.

Rehab Introduction

Watch this introductory video by physiotherapists Charlie and Nick to learn about our rehab programme. Discover exercise levels from early-stage to advanced, tailored to help you recover post-treatment following treatment with Arthrosamid®.

The three-step programme is designed to be accessed wherever you are – so your plan can be followed at home, in the gym or on holiday, meaning you can consistently “show up” improving the chances of improvements over time.

Each person will require a different dose of exercise to achieve optimal results. We recommend working with an experienced clinician to help individualise the exercises to your needs and capabilities. The exercise dose parameters are merely a guide and should not be considered medical advice.
