Seminar: Living with osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of joint disease and is a condition that our physiotherapists receive many questions about. 

 

Pain is one of the main symptoms of osteoarthritis and can have a great impact on people’s lives. 

To help you to manage your pain, we are holding a seminar on Thursday 23 August from 10am to 12.30pm.

 

Our physiotherapists will share lots of information about the condition including: 

  • What is osteoarthritis and how best to manage it
  • Small changes that can make a big difference
  • How to exercise safely and effectively
  • Alternative treatment options such as surgery, dietary education and acupuncture 

The team will dispel some of the myths regarding exercise and pain so you know how much exercise is the right amount of exercise. You’ll be able to apply what you have learned by taking part in a 30-minute exercise class. 

 

The event will end with light refreshments and a chance to meet others who share your condition. 

 

Tickets cost £10. To book your place, please email therapy@holycross.org.uk or call 01428 647647.
