This webinar explores lifestyle medicine as a practical, evidence-based approach to supporting arthritis management alongside medical care. We look at how everyday factors such as movement, nutrition, sleep, stress, social connection and daily routines influence joint health, pain, energy and overall wellbeing.

Flares and fatigue are a normal, but challenging part of living with arthritis. They can arrive unexpectedly, disrupt plans, and leave you feeling frustrated, drained or unsure how to respond. This supportive webinar helps you better understand why flares and fatigue happen and, importantly, what you can do to manage them more confidently.

This webinar featured Dr. Jonathan Quick, a researcher from the University of Queensland specializing in shoulder osteoarthritis and joint pain, who presented on the SOAR study (Shoulder Osteoarthritis Research Priority Setting Partnership). In this informative webinar, we explore what happens in the shoulder joint when osteoarthritis develops, why symptoms occur, and what you can do to manage them effectively.

Living with ongoing pain can be exhausting especially when it feels confusing, unpredictable or hard to explain to others. Understanding pain is a powerful first step toward managing it more confidently. This webinar introduces modern pain science in a way that is clear, practical and relevant to everyday life with arthritis and persistent pain.

This webinar featured researchers Sarah Kobayashi and Vicki Duong from the Colling Institute discussing exercise for osteoarthritis. They addressed common myths about exercise and osteoarthritis, including the misconception that exercise worsens joint damage, and emphasized that exercise is a first-line treatment recommended for all osteoarthritis patients regardless of severity.

This webinar takes a person-centred approach to joint health, recognising that arthritis affects everyone differently and that body weight is influenced by many factors, including pain, mobility, medications, sleep and life circumstances. Rather than promoting restrictive dieting, we focus on positive, achievable strategies that support joint comfort, movement and confidence.

Joanne Dudeney, Clinical Psychologist at the Rheumatology Clinic at The Sydney Children’s Hospital, explores the complex relationship between arthritis, sleep, and fatigue. Joanne share’s evidence-based strategies to support better sleep, manage ongoing fatigue, and reduce the emotional toll these challenges can take on young people.

This empowering webinar reframes movement as one of the most effective tools for managing arthritis, not something to fear. You’ll learn how the right type of movement can help reduce pain, improve joint function, boost energy, and support long-term joint health even on days when symptoms flare.
