New exercise classes to help people with hip or knee joint problems have started in Grangemouth after a pilot study showed how successful they had been for other Forth Valley patients.
NHS Forth Valley piloted the classes in Clackmannanshire before the pandemic - and the results were so encouraging that the classes are now being rolled out to Grangemouth and Stirling.
Ian McLean, orthopaedic surgeon at Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert, explained that pain in the joints is “a wake up call from your ageing alarm clock”. But the good news, he added, is that it's never too late to improve your condition.
