Living Well course (online)

Our 5 week course is for anyone with an arthritis or related musculoskeletal condition and who lives in Wales. It is designed to help support you to manage your condition better.

It’s a combination of learning how to ‘do-it-yourself’ and ‘all the help you want and need from others. We give you the tools to take back some control and start living the life you you want.

Spaces are limited. Please sign up if you can attend all 5 weeks, to get the best from the course.

We will be covering an introduction to self management, how to communicate effectively about your condition with others, understanding pain and other symptoms, the impact of exercise and activity, and managing the change you want to see.
