Knee and joint pain from active country living
Gardening, horse riding and hilly walks around Samford are great for life, but they can be tough on knees and hips.
Around 2.1 million Australians (8.3%) were living with osteoarthritis in 2022, and around 3.7 million (15%) had arthritis, according to the AIHW. If stiff, achy joints are slowing you down, you do not have to just put up with it.

Samford is acreage country: 98.7% of homes in Samford Valley were separate houses at the 2021 Census, against 74.8% across Queensland, and horses may be ridden on all shared trails in Samford Conservation Park unless signed otherwise.
In Samford Village, 10.6% of residents reported arthritis as a long-term health condition in 2021, above the Queensland rate of 8.8%, and the median age was 48. If your knees or hips are making the jobs and the trails harder, our Ferny Hills clinic can check how you move and plan your exercise with you.
Exercise-based physiotherapy can help you:
It is a short trip from Samford to our clinic at 170 Patricks Road, Ferny Hills, where we create a plan around your goals and show you how to keep it going at home.
The council's Ferny Grove to Samford Rail Trail runs 11 kilometres one way on sealed and unsealed sections, with a few hills on the rural roads, and Samford Conservation Park's Crebra circuit is a Grade 3 walk of 900m.
Slopes, loose surfaces and long days on the property ask more of your knees, hips and balance, especially when a joint is already stiff or sore.
We check how your hips, knees and feet move, build strength around the painful joints and work on balance for uneven ground.
We treat for the following conditions:
We focus on strengthening your body to support your joints, getting them moving again and improving your overall ability to move. In order to get you to this point, we come up with an individualised exercise plan for you to increase your strength and flexibility.
Arthritis treatment
Sports injuries affect bones, muscles, tissues and cartilage and are detrimental to normal daily activities, not just athletic performance. Sports injuries require supervision and time to heal safely.
Sports physio rehab
We will decide upon a course of action and treat you with manual therapy, exercises and use of heat or ice to relieve pain. This includes training for proper lifting, sitting, and bending and proper sleeping positions.
Back pain
Hydrotherapy focuses on slow and controlled movements that lead to relaxation. At the same time, pushing against the water helps improve muscle strength.
Hydrotherapy
This includes our Vibro Trainer for advanced muscle training and our Gaitscan™ biomechanical footprint scanner to identify abnormalities and prescribe custom orthotics.
Our equipment
We also supply equipment that aids in rehabilitation and injury prevention such as supportive braces, therapeutic sandals and contoured pillows. Our staff is happy to help you obtain these materials to promote your speedy recovery.

Our treatment plan for you begins with a comprehensive assessment and physical exam to diagnose your condition. We then communicate with you and other health professionals to collaborate on a treatment and recovery plan to get you back on your feet. When we have determined your health goal, we will begin treatment which involves hands-on mobilisation and soft tissue techniques.
Once your initial complaint is treated, we will teach you to manage your pain and aid your recovery.
All of our treatment techniques are based on scientific research and clinical experience. We are always adapting to new treatment methods and advances in technology so you receive the most up-to-date care.
