Enabling Self-management and Coping with Arthritic Pain using Exercise.
ESCAPE-pain is a group rehabilitation programme for people with hip and knee chronic joint pain that integrates educational self-management and coping strategies with an exercise regimen individualised for each participant. It helps people understand their condition, teaches them simple things they can help themselves with, and takes them through a progressive exercise programme so they learn how to cope with pain better.
