Enabling Self-management and Coping
with Arthritic Pain using Exercise

SAVE THE DATE - Annual ESCAPE-pain Conference

We are pleased to announce the annual ESCAPE-pain Conference will be held on Wednesday, 12th December 2018. Please save the date!

The programme and registration details will be published in due course.

ESCAPE-pain is a rehabilitation programme for people with chronic joint pain, that integrates educational self-management and coping strategies with an exercise regimen individualised for each participant. It helps people understand their condition, teaches them simple things they can help themselves with, and takes them through a progressive exercise programme so they learn how to cope with pain better.

Robust evaluation shows that ESCAPE-pain:

Reduces pain
Improves physical function
Improves the psychosocial consequences of pain
Reduces healthcare and utilisation costs.
