Versus Arthritis has launched their brand new Let’s Move for Surgery physical activity resources for people with arthritis waiting for or recovering from joint replacement surgery. The Surgery Toolkit includes a series of tailor-made, follow-along exercise videos for hip, shoulder and knee, as well as full body workouts to help maintain overall fitness. It also features personal stories and advice from those living with arthritis who have been through or are awaiting joint replacement surgery, as well as tips on keeping active from a physiotherapist.
Take a look at the healthcare professionals’ implementation plan to find out more about the resources and how you can use them to help your patients with arthritis. The videos and supporting booklet are available for anyone to access on the Versus Arthritis website.
The Versus Arthritis website also features a wide range of information and advice to help people with arthritis to get started with exercise, set activity goals, plus lots of other movement and stretching videos.
Versus Arthritis would like to ask any healthcare professionals supporting patients awaiting or recovering from joint replacement surgery to signpost their patients to these resources and encourage them to have a go.
