Regular exercise is proven to be one of the most effective treatments for arthritis. It reduces pain, keeps joints moving, restores flexibility and strength and protects joints against further damage. However, only 30% of people with arthritis in Ireland get enough exercise, as overcoming fears about exercise can be very difficult – especially when in pain.

To attend these classes, participants will have to be independently mobile.

Participants are not advised to attend these classes if they have the following:

-Poor balance

-Unable to follow commands clearly

-People with active inflammation
