If you have osteoarthritis of the hip and/or knee, join Everybody Sport and Recreation’s free, 6-week, evidence-based rehabilitation programme, ESCAPE-pain, to help you manage your joint pain.
Funded by NHS Eastern Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), these sessions are for adults over the age of 45 and are designed to reduce pain and disability in people with chronic hip and/or knee joint pain.
Everybody Sport and Recreation has a course starting at Wilmslow Leisure Centre on 22nd January 2020, more information here.
Over the 6 weeks you will receive information, advice and support from Everybody Sport and Recreation’s qualified ESCAPE-pain Instructors to help better manage your chronic joint pain and lead a more active life.
There are two sessions a week which include education and a group exercise programme, tailored to your individual needs.
