We know that there are huge delays in receiving treatment and surgery for #arthritis, and #SocialPrescribing is vital in ensuring that everyone living with #MSK conditions gets the support they deserve and to live well while they wait. #SocialPrescribingDay @NASPTweets

What a fantastic article! We had the pleasure of seeing Louise give a talk at the @RheumatologyUK conference, so it is wonderful seeing her important message reaching a wider audience 👏

[Louise Welch was Trewern 🇬🇧 @loulouscorpio]

I was thrilled to be asked by arthritis charity @VersusArthritis to talk about the benefits of walking when you live with arthritis 👣

📢Research opportunity 📢
We are looking for participants over the age of 18 who have inflammatory arthritis.
Many individuals with inflammatory arthritis experience symptoms such as joint pain, stiffness and fatigue which can fluctuate.

[Arthritis UK @arthritisukorg]

Did you know that 1 in 8 people (12.1%) in England report living with at least two long-term conditions, one of which is MSK related?

These findings are taken from The State of Musculoskeletal (MSK) Health Report 2023: https://t.co/l8DxhpxeT4

[Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) @thecsp]

We couldn’t agree more, @DrRanj!

Great piece on @BBCMorningLive looking at the enormous value of rehabilitation after injury and for people living with a health condition.

@OsteopathLondon @AnjuJaggi advice should be on a billboard!!

"There is also a strong correlation between grip strength and shoulder strength. If you work on your grip, it will have a knock-on effect for helping your shoulder."

"Discomfort can often prompt the avoidance of movement for fear of causing harm, but waiting to be pain-free before gently exercising is a mistake, as it leads to slower healing, weakness & vulnerability." @OsteopathLondon 🙏👏

We did it! First 2 participants seen in the Treadon trial @Keele_CTU to explore different treatments for plantar heel pain. A great collaboration between First contact Physio, Podiatry and the research teams @foxcroftphysio
