Self-management Courses
In Brisbane, Arthritis Queensland currently provides the following courses:
- Osteoarthritis of the Knee (OAK)
- Rheumatoid/Inflammatory Arthritis (RA-P)
- Arthritis Self-Management Course
Most of the courses listed above are of two weeks’ duration. Arthritis Queensland also offers some six week courses. At the moment, it is possible to hold these courses only in Brisbane.
People with Arthritis and related conditions may experience reduced independence and fitness, and pain, fatigue, depression, and frustration about their condition. Self management courses enable people to make positive lifestyle changes to achieve a more active and satisfying life.
At the self-management courses you will learn:
- Information on your condition
- How to manage your symptoms, including pain management.
- How to lessen your frustration.
- How to fight fatigue.
