Do you suffer from arthritis of the knee?

Corio Bay Health Group presents a series of exercise and learning sessions designed to achieve optimal strength, mobility and function for mild to moderately osteo-arthritic knees.

The program works strongly towards self-directed management of the problem and aims to give clients a better understanding of treatment options and their relevance.  This includes exercises, medications, surgery, supplements and diet.

Structure of the Program

The program will involve 2 x 60min sessions per week over a five week period (10 sessions in total) after which time each participant will have developed a very strong sense of an ability to self-manage their problem, as well as develop a resource bank of self-help and practitioner based solutions.

Program Aims

The specific aims of this program are to enable each participant;

• To have a comprehensive management strategy specifically to deal with the problem themselves where possible or appropriate.
• To better understand the disease process and impact of lifestyle, diet, medication and exercise factors
• To achieve an improved quality of life.
• To achieve improved pain levels.
• To be better equipped at self-coping with acute exacerbations
