Pathway through Arthritis is a self-management program developed by Wellmind Health and the Versus Arthritis charity.
The program helps individuals with any arthritic condition improve self-management and reduce the impact of disability and pain on daily life. A multi-disciplinary expert team of trainers empower participants to improve their quality of life.
The clinical objective of the program is for participants to improve their health questionnaire scores for Anxiety (GAD-7), Depression (PHQ-9) and Musculoskeletal Health (MSK-HQ). This is achieved through the practice of arthritis self-management, pain relief methods, stretching and exercise, lifestyle changes and cognitive approaches learnt throughout the program.
The digital program is a standalone intervention or works in conjunction with existing treatments to help reduce the need for pain medication and face-to-face appointments.
Arthritis has a deep impact on people’s lives. It can also profoundly affect partners, family members, careers and futures. We are intensely proud to have helped so many people achieve significant and long-term improvements to their wellbeing and quality of life. Reading about the impact Pathway through Arthritis has had on real lives in the feedback and testimonials fulfils us on our mission and we look forward to helping many more people on a pathway to improved self-management.
