If you have arthritis and are anxious to tackle the pain you experience, this short workshop could be for you. This is Arthritis Care's most concise course, perfect for adults with busy lives.
'This workshop was very useful. It has helped me to understand my body better.'
Ok, how long does it go on?
Just half a day (in an accessible venue).
So what happens?
The workshop itself is very informal – mainly discussion with some practical demonstrations. The trainers (who all have arthritis or another long-term condition themselves) will talk you through a range of pain management techniques and there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
What is covered?
- A brief introduction to explain what arthritis is and why pain is one of the most common symptoms.
- We look at the anatomy of the joint and what causes the pain.
- We explore simple techniques that can help you to manage your pain.
- We briefly summarise the purposes of medication used in treating arthritis and the effects on the body.
And what will it cost me?
All our courses are free to attend. We obtain funding from various bodies which covers our running costs. This in fact serves as another guarantee of quality as we have to evaluate and feedback to our funders to show how each course went.
