Bursitis Treatment
What is Bursitis?
Bursitis is a painful condition that occurs when small, fluid-filled sacs called bursae become inflamed. These bursae act as cushions between bones, tendons, and muscles near your joints, helping to reduce friction during movement. When they become irritated or inflamed, simple daily activities can become uncomfortable and challenging.
The condition commonly affects the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and heel, causing localised pain, swelling, and stiffness. You might notice that the pain worsens with movement or pressure on the affected area. Morning stiffness is often particularly troublesome, and many people find that their symptoms interfere with sleep and routine activities.
Bursitis can develop from repetitive movements, prolonged pressure on a joint, injury, or underlying conditions such as arthritis. It’s particularly common in people whose work or hobbies involve repetitive motions. Without proper treatment, the condition can become chronic and significantly impact your quality of life.

How Bursitis Treatment Can Help
Bursitis can make everyday movement painful and frustrating, but with the right physiotherapy, you can recover faster, move more freely, and reduce the risk of it coming back.
Our bursitis treatment focuses on three key outcomes:
relieving pain, restoring mobility, and preventing recurrence.
You’ll benefit from:
- Hands-on massage therapy to ease pain, reduce tension, and restore normal joint motion
