Overview of Plan

Whether you are starting out on your journey with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), or have been navigating your expedition for some time, this self-care plan has been developed specifically for YOU!

This self-care plan is designed to be used by YOU for your unique circumstances. We know there is a lot of information out there which can be overwhelming and confusing. This self-care plan helps you to work through all that information in a way that suits you. It is easy to understand, practical and most importantly puts YOU in control as you navigate your experience with PsA.

Tips and Tools

Tip 1 – Don’t sit down and read the plan from beginning to end! Your PsA  journey is unique to you. So is your self-care plan! Scan the plan. Focus on the areas that are most concerning you and start there. Put the plan down and ‘digest’ the information and what it means for you. Then come back to it and start another section.

Tip 2 – Make notes, jot down questions as you build your self-care plan

Tip 3 – Take a copy of your self-care plan to appointments with your health care team and discuss your thoughts, questions and understanding of what is right for you

Tip 4 – Knowledge is POWER! Improving your health literacy, understanding PsA , and being aware of your treatment and management options is essential.

This is your musculoskeletal health journey. Musculoskeletal Australia’s PsA Self-care plan is an essential tool to support you to navigate that journey.
