About Arthritis Action

Arthritis Action is the UK charity offering a self-management approach to help people with arthritis address the physical and mental health symptoms of living with the condition. Our self-management approach includes a wide array of services including dietary and nutritional advice, exercise resources, and access to clinical appointments. We help people with arthritis gain the knowledge and confidence to manage their condition themselves and enjoy a more active life with less pain.
