Do your knees or hips feel stiff when you stand up? 🤔

You might be wondering…
“Should I really be exercising with arthritis?”

Here’s the good news 👇
The right kind of exercise can actually reduce pain, improve movement, and help you stay active longer.

In my latest video, I explain:
✅ What osteoarthritis really does to your joints
✅ Why exercise is the best first treatment
✅ Simple exercises you can do at home (no gym needed!)
✅ How improving balance and control can make everyday movement easier

💡 A recent study showed that simple home-based exercises can work just as well as gym workouts for arthritis relief.

That means you don’t need fancy equipment to start feeling better.

As an orthopaedic surgeon, my goal is always to help people improve without surgery whenever possible—and movement is often the key.

I’m pleased to introduce the *Free From Pain Programme* — an evidence-based initiative designed to help older adults stay strong, independent, and pain-free.

As we age, reduced activity often leads to muscle weakness, poor balance, and increased bone fragility. Unfortunately, this can result in falls and fractures that significantly impact quality of life. The good news is that these outcomes are not inevitable.

The Free From Pain Programme combines three proven exercise approaches into one structured, whole-body system:

• The **Otago Exercise Programme** to improve balance and reduce falls
• **Isometric neck exercises** to help manage neck pain
• **Motor control exercises** to support lower back health

Participants receive a complete exercise package, guided resources, and take part in a 12-week supported programme with weekly live online sessions, app-based exercise guidance, and progress monitoring.

Our aim is simple: **to convert disability into vitality in older adults** by improving strength, confidence, and overall wellbeing.

💪 Rise • Raise • Thrive — A Simple Movement to Prevent Falls & Stay Strong

Hello everyone,

I’m Dr. George Ampat, an orthopaedic surgeon in Liverpool. After treating so many older adults with hip fractures, I want to share something important: many hip fractures are preventable with two simple exercises you can do at home. No gym. No equipment. Just consistency.

As we age, our muscles weaken (sarcopenia), and our bones become fragile (osteopenia/osteoporosis). The best “medicine” for both is exercise — especially weight-bearing movement that keeps our muscles, bones, and balance strong.

So let’s start a health movement together:

⭐ RISE

Do 5 sit-stands every hour while you’re awake.
This strengthens your legs, hips, and improves balance. It can be done with or without holding onto a chair for support.

⭐ RAISE

Lift two 1-litre water bottles up and down 5 times every hour.
A simple way to build upper-body strength at home.

⭐ THRIVE

By doing these routines daily, you strengthen your muscles, improve your balance, reduce fall risk, and protect your bones — especially through the winter months when slips are more common.

Two small exercises. Huge benefits.
Let’s share this with parents, grandparents, neighbours, and friends. Together, we can reduce falls, improve health, and help our communities age stronger and healthier. 💙

Let’s Rise, Raise & Thrive — every hour, every day.
