Mobility and Daily Living Aids for Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis causes pain and stiffness in the joints, most commonly the knees, hips, hands and back, which can make walking, standing up and gripping more difficult. The right equipment reduces strain on painful joints, helps you stay active and keeps everyday tasks manageable, at home and when out and about.
For osteoarthritis information and support, speak to your healthcare professionals and visit the NHS website. Our qualified trusted assessors are also here to support you and your care team every step of the way, so please call us on 01926 624432.
Many of the products below are available to buy or through our Warwickshire-wide mobility equipment hire service. Hire can help to facilitate hospital discharge, enable you to try equipment before committing to a purchase, or provide support as needs change. We also offer a free home assessment with one of our qualified Warwick-based team to help you choose what’s right for you.

Mobility Aids
A walking stick or rollator takes some of the load off painful hips and knees and improves balance, while a tri-tip ferrule adds grip and stability to a stick. For longer distances, a lightweight wheelchair, folding powerchair or portable scooter helps you keep getting out without overdoing it.
Shop our Walking Aids, Wheelchairs, Powerchairs and Scooters ranges, including the Folding Walking Stick, Saljol Allround, Space CF, Ergo Lite 2 Transit, Jazzy Carbon Ultra Lite and Astrolite. Many of these are also available to hire rather than buy.
Home Modifications and Safety Products
Stairs, getting out of bed and using the toilet put the most strain on hips and knees. Grab rails and bed rails give you something to push up on, bed and chair raisers reduce how far you need to bend, and a stairlift takes the effort out of the stairs.
Shop our Home Adaptations range, including Grab Rails, the Fold Away Grab Rail, the Let’s Get Up Bed Rail, Bed & Chair Raisers and the Straight Stairlift.
Bathroom and Hygiene Aids
Raised toilet seats and toilet surrounds reduce strain on hips and knees, while bath boards, swivel shower stools and long-handled washing aids make bathing easier when bending or stepping into a bath is painful. A level-access wet room removes the need to step over the side of the bath altogether.
Shop our Bathing range, including the Raised Toilet Seat, Toilet Surround, Bathboard with Handle, Swivel Shower Stool, Kanjo Silverline, Long Handled Toe Washer and Wet Room solutions.
Seating and Riser Recliner Chairs
A riser recliner chair gently lifts you to standing and reduces strain on knees and hips, a perching stool lets you rest during tasks at the worktop, and a swivel cushion makes turning in and out of a seat easier.
Shop our Seating range, including Riser Recliners such as the Fenlake and Dinsdale, the 4 in 1 Perching Stool and the Swivel Cushion.
Beds and Comfort
A home care profiling bed can make getting in and out of bed much easier when hips, knees or back are stiff, and helps you find a comfortable position for sleep.
Shop our Beds range, including the Elite home care bed.
Daily Living Aids
Painful or stiff hands can make gripping, twisting and reaching difficult. Jar and can openers, key turners, reachers, sock aids, shoehorns and button hooks reduce the effort needed for everyday tasks.
Shop our Daily Living Aids range, including the Jar Pop Key, Can Key, Key Turner, Standard Reacher, Easy-Pull Sock Aid, Plastic Shoehorn with Hook and Big Grip Button Hook.
Exercise and Rehabilitation Devices
Keeping active helps to maintain joint movement and strength. A pedal exerciser allows gentle seated exercise, and therapy balls support hand exercises.
Shop the Pedal Exerciser and Gel Therapy Balls, part of our Daily Living Aids range.
Vehicle Adaptations
Lifting a wheelchair or scooter into the car puts a lot of strain on the back and joints. An equipment hoist does the lifting for you.
Shop Equipment Hoists, part of our Vehicle Adaptations range.
Repairs, Modifications & Servicing
Needs can change over time, and existing equipment doesn’t always need replacing. Wheelchairs and scooters can often be adapted with extra accessories, and our team can adjust and service equipment to keep it safe, comfortable and reliable.
Shop Wheelchair Accessories and Wheelchair Adaptations, or see our repair, modification & servicing team for adjustments, adaptations and servicing.
Using a combination of these products can help reduce strain on painful joints, keep you active and make everyday tasks easier while living with osteoarthritis. Find out more about Wenman Healthcare, or browse our full range of products in the shop.
