Welcome to the website of the National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society (NASS). NASS is the only registered charity in the UK working for people with AS and their families.
If you have just been diagnosed with AS this is the place to find the answers for some of the many questions you may have. One of the most important messages for people who have been newly diagnosed is that you can really make a difference and can give yourself the best possible outcome by taking an active interest in your condition. Exercise is one of the keys to this: take a look at the advice provided on exercise.
