Nass group of the moment - Grimbsy NASS

The following article was published in a local paper to highlight the work the Grimbsy NASS Group do. This may offer help to anyone wishing to gain more exposure for their own NASS group.

NASS GROUP BATTLE BACK PAIN IN GRIMSBY

Ankylosing spondylitis is a painful progressive rheumatic disease usually starting in the late teens or early 20's, mainly affecting the spine but it can also affect other joints, tendons and ligaments. NASS states that "people who take an active interest in their condition can positively influence their outcome". The Grimsby group have been sretching and strengthening their muscles in order to maintan good posture and reduce aches and pains in an informal, friendly atmorsphere with the help of Susimala Gaikwad, Senior Physiotherapist and Judith Aisthorpe, Technical Instructor.If you suffer from AS you are very welcome to join us not only to exercise but also to share ideas and experiences with others who have the same condition. The class runs every Thursday night from the 8th Septmeber, and every second week in the month we exercise in the Physio' pool too. If you would like more information please contact Jeanne Murray.

The NASS (National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society) exercise class at Diane Princess of Wales Hospital, Grimsby has been providing exercise and advice for almost a year now. People with newly diagnosed AS also benefit from meeting with people fo the same condition. This can help motivate them to include regular exercise in their lives. We appreciate the continued support from Dr. James, Consultant Rheumatologist and team and Glenna Briggs, Physiotherapy Manager.
