Diagnosed nearly six years ago, we initially knew very few people who understood what musculoskeletal diseases were. In fact, we hadn’t even heard of them ourselves until our diagnoses. While there’s lots of information online, most people don’t seek it out unless it affects them personally.
Musculoskeletal Health Awareness Month is helping to change that. Throughout this month, we’ve come across loads of new information and have connected with others who share similar experiences to my sister and me. This has been invaluable for us. It’s also great to see a campaign dedicated to helping others learn about the impacts of living with a condition like ours too.
Helping everyone to understand more about musculoskeletal diseases will benefit everyone. Building recognition and understanding will make everyday life easier for people like us living with these conditions.
You can support Musculoskeletal Health Awareness Month by joining us at The World’s Biggest Sit In – a world record attempt for the largest chair-based exercise class ever held on Thursday the 31st of October at 10.30 ADET!
