Joint Pain Programme

Join our free Joint Pain Programme to help relieve pain and lead a more independent life.

Over the 12-weeks you'll learn how to self-manage your joint pain with the expert guidance of a Rehabilitation Specialist. You'll have two 1-hour group sessions each week, as well as access to an extensive offering of online articles throughout.

You'll also receive a free Joint Pain Health assessment at the beginning, middle and end of the programme – not only to show your progress, but also to allow us to better understand conditions, ensure the efficacy and safety of the programme, and continually improve.
