NASS York

Cost: £2 per session

We are a small friendly group, offering a variety of ways to help you manage your axial SpA.

There is a lively WhatsApp Group where members share tips ranging from diet to pain relief.

Every Wednesday we organise an online exercise class run by one of a dedicated team of physiotherapists who support every member to exercise according to their capabilities. No two sessions are the same, and they always begin and end with a certain amount of social chit chat.

In the summer months we sometimes take these sessions outside to one of York’s open spaces. We also from time to time organise other activities such as Nordic Walking, hydrotherapy or other short walks.

And, for those who want it, there is also an active Book Group which meets every couple of months.

You can mix and match any of these elements to suit yourself. Members say they find the opportunity to meet with and talk to others living with Axial SpA (AS) to be especially valuable. Please join us!

Please note that you must have a UK diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (Axial SpA) or ankylosing spondylitis (AS) to attend this branch.
