Session 5: Everyday Movements and Pain Reduction
Daily activities can either help or aggravate Osteoarthritis. This session teaches participants how to perform common movements—such as climbing stairs, standing up from a chair, and bending—using joint-friendly positions. Alan will identify movements and habits that may increase pain, what to avoid, and how small changes in technique can make daily life more comfortable.
This is Session 5 of 6 in our free Osteoarthritis Education Series. Sign up for all six classes to gain practical tools and knowledge to better manage Osteoarthritis.
