В Бромсгрове возобновляется бесплатная программа реабилитации для людей с артритом

A FREE programme aimed at helping people living with arthritic joint pain is returning to Bromsgrove next month. The latest round of ESCAPE-pain rehabilitation sessions will begin at Bromsgrove Sport and Leisure Centre on Monday, September 7. The six-week programme combines supervised exercise with practical advice and guidance to help people better manage joint pain. Participants are supported to understand their condition and learn techniques to manage their symptoms, alongside a tailored exercise programme designed to improve mobility, confidence and general wellbeing. A total of 12 free sessions will be held during the six weeks, taking place at 1.30pm on Mondays and 2pm on Wednesdays at the leisure centre in School Drive. Councillor Shirley Webb, Portfolio Holder for Health and Wellbeing, Leisure and Culture at Bromsgrove District Council, said: “Joint pain can often stop people from doing the things they enjoy, but programmes like ESCAPE-pain show that the right support, education and exercise can make a real difference. “We’re committed to helping residents stay active, independent and connected to their communities. This programme gives people practical tools to manage their condition and build confidence in a welcoming group environment. “I would encourage anyone living with arthritic pain in their knee, hip or back to register their interest and find out how ESCAPE-pain could help them.” The programme is being delivered with the support of Bromsgrove Sport and Leisure Centre. Anyone interested in taking part can register through the ESCAPE-pain section of Bromsgrove District Council’s website, or call 01527 881404.
