Self-management of arthritis, put simply, is managing your condition yourself using a variety of approaches and techniques to address both the physical and mental impact of arthritis. Arthritis affects people differently, so each individual can choose the techniques that help them live a fuller, more active, life whilst living with the condition.
According to a YouGov study commissioned by Arthritis Action, involving 2,074 people with arthritis of working age in Great Britain, 64%* found self-management to be useful.
Arthritis Action is the only UK charity that offers a holistic self-management approach tailored to each individual.
