Learning That Moves You Forward.

Upcoming Webinar - How to Be Physically Active With Arthritis

The Arthritis Research Education Series turns the latest arthritis and rheumatic disease research into practical knowledge on managing pain, protecting your mental health, staying employed, and living well. Each episode is shaped by our Arthritis Patient Advisory Board (APAB) and delivered by an Arthritis Research Canada expert in a free, live webinar open to everyone.

This is the most recent episode.

June 17 | 10 a.m. PDT | Hosted by Dr. Manuel (Manny) Ester, Postdoctoral Associate, Arthritis Research Canada

Why This Webinar Matters

Living with arthritis can make physical activity feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t mean you have to run marathons or take 10,000 steps a day.

In this episode of the Arthritis Research Education Series, Arthritis Research Canada’s Manny Ester and patient partner Carole Silvera explore how movement supports the physical and mental well-being of people living with arthritis and related rheumatic diseases.

Along with others living with arthritis, they created Just One Move, a research-driven online platform and community created to help make physical activity more accessible, realistic, and sustainable.
