While trying to navigate a life while living with arthritis and related conditions, we don't want to lose sight of the importance of exercise in self-management of the condition. We are therefore offering free online 6-week adapted chartered physiotherapy led course through the online Zoom platform.

Due to funding requirements, this course is only available to those who are living in Counties Cavan and Monaghan
