Join us for a free series of online sessions to meet other people with axial SpA and your local healthcare professionals. Through the meetups and quick activities between sessions, you’ll get support and learn ways to manage your axial SpA and the impact it has on your life.
We’ll be covering:
- What axial SpA is, how it can impact you, and how it’s managed
- Why axial SpA causes pain and practical tools to cope
- What fatigue is, why it happens, and ways to manage it
- Understanding axial SpA flares and creating a practical toolkit
- Getting active, exercising, and looking after your posture
- Life and work with axial SpA
These are practical sessions with some short presentations and plenty of time for attendees to chat with each other. We’ll also be on hand to answer any questions you may have. Please note, we can’t answer specific clinical questions, but we can let you know which healthcare professional to contact for advice.
