Rural Health Program Appeal

Please help people in rural NSW gain better access to heath information. The shortage of health services in rural NSW is well known to people who live with arthritis. The lack of support can delay diagnosis and treatment, impacting people’s financial, social and physical wellbeing. You can help.

Get Moving! Exercise Series

It is extremely important to stay moving, fit and healthy for both our physical and mental health. Staying fit can significantly reduce the risk of developing or the progression of sedentary diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and reduce development and/or severity of arthritis.

Get Moving! Plus Exercise Series

Get Moving! PLUS is an exercise library dedicated to promoting and improving the mobility and strength of joints and muscles that are affected by arthritis. These exercises are to get your joint ‘fit’ in a specific context, such as pre and/or post rehabilitation settings, severe arthritis and/or pain.

The program is designed to help individuals with arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions to develop strength, improve overall fitness and regain/build confidence in an environment that is social and supportive. Learn more...
