What is Be Active with Arthritis?

Research has proven that people with arthritis should participate in regular exercise to optimise daily function and enhance quality of life.

These exercise classes offered by Arthritis Ireland and the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists, and delivered by chartered physiotherapists, aim to give participants an understanding of the role of exercise in managing their arthritis. In addition, the classes allow participants to partake in an appropriate exercise program that improves strength, mobility and conditioning and, therefore, enhances quality of life.

The group classes are one hour in duration. A maximum of twelve people take part in each class allowing for individual attention from the physiotherapist.

We are offering this course free of charge, but places are limited.

To attend these classes, participants will have to be independently mobile and a basic general health screening will be performed in advance of the class.
