Online Knee Osteoarthritis Class
Knee osteoarthritis or ‘wear and tear’ is a degenerative condition where the cartilage is worn or varying degrees. It can cause pain, stiffness and swelling around the knee. It won’t necessarily result in a knee replacement and can be managed in lots of cases with strengthening exercises, pain management and advice.
This a 5 week online course of exercise and advice after each class. The aim of the class is to increase strength, decrease pain, improve understanding of osteoarthritis and improve the ability to cope with the condition, not to eliminate pain. The class is suitable for all levels as you work to your limits and exercise progressions are shown for when they get too easy!
Classes are recorded so you can do them in your own time, classes will be sent out via a YouTube link. There is very little equipment needed, with the exception of a step/stairs and an exercise band.
