Rheumatology rehabilitation

This talk will cover simple, evidence-based principles and guidelines for identifying and managing inflammatory back pain and autoimmune conditions, with a strong focus on the role of rehabilitation at early, middle, and late stages.

The session will also include a focused contribution on foot health in the context of inflammatory disease—exploring the clinical significance of lower limb assessment, early podiatric intervention, and how foot-related challenges can impact mobility, pain, and quality of life in this patient group.

 

• Core principles and clinical guidelines

• Importance of early identification and intervention

• Rehab benefits across the care continuum

• Foot health considerations in inflammatory disease

• Common challenges and practical solutions

This session includes two 40-minute workshops designed to help you explore what AHPs can do at primary, secondary, and community care levels to improve quality of life and outcomes for patients with rheumatological conditions.
