Series overview
Designed especially for those living with arthritis and related MSK conditions, our new follow-along stretching videos are split into two mini-series.
1. Seven part tailored stretching series
Physiotherapist Jay Milomo, who has expertise in arthritis and related MSK conditions, is accompanied by James and Sylvia who live with arthritis as they demonstrate the commonly recommended exercises for different parts of the body.
- The videos are short (15 minutes) and designed to be easily incorporated into your daily routine.
- No specialist equipment is needed, everything can be done at home - even making use of some household items.
- Doing the movements regularly can help maintain joint range of motion, ease pain and stiffness and make everyday tasks easier such as carrying the shopping or reaching for things.
2. Three-part full body stretch series
Physiotherapist Jay leads this series of full body stretches tailored to different times of the day. Combat morning stiffness, increase flexibility during the day and then relax with an evening stretch. The series is designed to give you the tools you need to help get more movement in your life every day and to give you more confidence.
