An initiative to offer a free-to-access programme in East Kilbride for people living with chronic joint pain has been given the backing of the town's MP, Dr Lisa Cameron.
The 12-week programme at Nuffield Health in the town, which is led by rehabilitation specialists, has been designed to help people to self-manage chronic joint pain, a condition that affects more than 8.5 million people in the UK.
In Scotland 16.6 per cent of people (420,000) aged 45 have osteoarthritis of the knee, while 10.1 per cent (256,000) have osteoarthritis of the hip.
