Beyond Wear & Tear: A Free Osteoarthritis Info Evening

If you've got hip, knee or joint pain and you're not really sure what's going on, or what to actually do about it, this one's for you.

We're opening our doors for a free info evening where our Director and Senior Physio, Michael Scardamaglia, will walk you through everything you need to know about osteoarthritis. No jargon, no fluff, just clear, practical info based on the latest evidence.

What we'll cover:

• What osteoarthritis actually is (hint: it's not just "wear and tear")

• The risk factors, and which ones you can actually do something about

• How OA is diagnosed these days (imaging isn't always the answer)

• The full treatment picture, from exercise and education through to when surgery genuinely makes sense

• An introduction to the GLA:D® program and how it helps people manage OA long term

Whether you've just been told you have osteoarthritis, you're managing it already, or you're supporting a partner or parent who is, you'll walk away with a much clearer understanding of your options.

This session is designed for our community, so come as you are. Bring a partner, a friend, or a family member who might find it useful too.
