The Guidelines -
NICE recommends that people with spondyloarthritis affecting the spine should be referred to a specialist physiotherapist to start an individualised, structured exercise programme. This should include deep breathing and aerobic exercise, stretching, strengthening and postural exercises, spinal extension and a range of motion exercises for the spine. Exercise and stretching are also emphasised as a component of self-care during disease flare-ups

This week I will be focusing my attention and doing some daily posts on a group of conditions that effect a huge proportion of the population, of which many do not know or yet have a diagnosis.

Axial Spondyloarthritis.

🔹 1 in 200 of the adult population in the UK have axial SpA (AS). That's twice as many as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease.
🔹Axial SpA (AS) is a condition that affects young people. Symptoms start late teens to early twenties, with the average age of onset being 24.
🔹The current average delay to diagnosis from when symptoms start is 8.5 years, by which irreversible damage to the spine may have occurred.
🔹59% of people with axial SpA (AS) report experiencing mental health problems compared to 25% of those with musculoskeletal conditions overall.

If you or someone you know has chronic back pain and stiffness or any of the other symptoms above please do not hesitate to share the video below and get in touch today. Let's reduce the delay to diagnosis and increase awareness of this huge, life altering condition.
