If you’re on a musculoskeletal waiting list, here’s 5 good reasons to join the new and free MSK ActiveWell programme

 

Carers Central (and this website) is run by the team from The Disability Resource Centre, which is a charity with over 30 years experience of helping disabled people and carers. The charity supports thousands of people every month across Bedfordshire, Luton, Milton Keynes, and all the town and villages in the area.

If you are struggling with a musculoskeletal condition, feeling stuck on waiting lists, and unsure of how to manage your pain, and regain control of your life, then The Disability Resource Centre’s new MSK ActiveWell programme could be the answer.
