Our new Self-Management programme (posters above) is due to start at Wyndley Leisure Centre on Tuesday February 6th, 10:30 – 12:30 and running on consecutive Tuesdays for 5 weeks ending on Tuesday March 5th 2024.
The programme is free and is open to anyone diagnosed with
arthritis and who wants to be able to manage their arthritis alongside medical
care.
We discuss goal setting to support eating better, activity
and exercise, communication with medical professionals / family / friends /
employers and ways to manage pain more effectively.
The programme is a gentle way to ease you into living better
with your condition and is run by people who have arthritis so understand
exactly how you feel.
We are Versus Arthritis:
There are over 10 million
people living with arthritis. That’s one in six, with over half of those living
in pain every single day. The impact is huge as the condition slowly intrudes
on everyday life – affecting the ability to work, care for a family, to move
free from pain and to live independently. Yet arthritis is often dismissed as
an inevitable part of ageing or shrugged off as ‘just a bit of arthritis’ and
some are told ‘ you’re a bit young to have arthritis’. We don’t think that this
is OK. Versus Arthritis is here to change that.
If you want to know more about the work we do or if you think we can work with you on a project, please get in touch by reply of this email. Our services are free and are used to help people live better with their arthritis
Thanks
Joy
