ESCAPE-pain is a rehabilitation programme for people living with chronic joint pain. This approach combines evidence-based research, educational self-management, coping strategies with an exercise programme tailored to everyone.
The programme aims to provide information for people to help them understand their condition better. It offers an opportunity to discuss strategies to help manage symptoms and pain, navigating everyday activities with more confidence enhancing quality of life.
The programme will not completely cure your pain. One of the main aims is to reduce your pain while helping to improve an individual’s daily physical function.
Aneurin Bevan provides two separate ESCAPE-Pain programmes:
