Physiotherapist-Led Hip & Knee Osteoarthritis Exercise Classes in Glenview, Cambridge and Te Awamutu

Move Better. Feel Stronger. Take Control of Your Joint Health.

If you are living with hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA), staying active can feel challenging. Joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility can make everyday activities more difficult and affect your confidence to move.

Our physiotherapist-led Hip & Knee Osteoarthritis Exercise Classes are designed to help you reduce pain, improve strength and mobility, and continue doing the things that matter most to you.

At Focused Physiotherapy, we provide evidence-based exercise programmes in a supportive small-group setting, helping people across Glenview, Cambridge, Te Awamutu and the wider Waikato region manage osteoarthritis with confidence.

How Can Exercise Help Osteoarthritis?

Exercise is one of the most effective treatments for hip and knee osteoarthritis and is recommended by health professionals as a first-line treatment.

  • Regular exercise can help:

  • Reduce joint pain and stiffness

  • Improve strength around the hips and knees

  • Increase flexibility and mobility

  • Improve balance and stability

  • Support everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and getting up from a chair

  • Improve confidence in movement

  • Support long-term joint health

  • Potentially delay or reduce the need for surgery

Our Hip & Knee Osteoarthritis Exercise Classes are specifically designed to help participants gain these benefits in a safe and supportive environment.

What Happens in the Classes?

All classes are led and supervised by one of our physiotherapists and are kept intentionally small to allow exercises to be tailored to individual needs, abilities, and goals.

Exercise Components

Each session includes:

  • Strengthening exercises for the hips, knees, and supporting muscles

  • Balance and stability training

  • Mobility and flexibility exercises

  • Progressive exercise programmes suited to your ability level

  • Individual modifications where needed

Education and Self-Management

We believe understanding osteoarthritis is just as important as exercising. Throughout the programme, you’ll learn practical strategies to help manage your condition, including:

  • Understanding osteoarthritis and what it means for your joints

  • Managing pain and flare-ups
