Naomi and her guests discuss ways to manage axSpA in daily life in this third episode of the season.

Janet Millner is an experienced physiotherapist and a valued member of the rheumatology team at the Royal Hobart Hospital in Tasmania. She has special interests in the management of spondyloarthritis and persisting musculoskeletal pain. Janet’s clinical role includes supporting people with complex rheumatological conditions to optimise their fitness and ability to function.

Janet emphasises the role of regular exercise in maintaining joint function and overall health. She acknowledges that exercise can be challenging for people with axSpA and discusses how it can be adapted to suit individual needs and preferences.

Naomi’s guests from the previous two episodes, Cherie Cleland and Shayne Van Der Heide, return to share their experiences of managing axSpA holistically. Along with Jane, they discuss various ways to keep moving, such as cycling, swimming and physiotherapy.

The guests also share tips on other lifestyle changes that can help people with axSpA, including using modified furniture and other aids, working from home, slowing down during flares and asking for help when needed. All believe that even doing a few minutes each day can make a difference.

Patient PrepRheum is a podcast exploring important and often-misunderstood aspects of living with autoimmune arthritis and related conditions here in Australia. We'll speak with fellow patients and renowned doctors to help gain a better understanding of some of the less talked about topics of managing these diseases.

At CreakyJoints Australia we are on a mission to raise awareness and deepen the collective understanding of arthritis, a disease which has more than 200 variations, empowering patients to put themselves at the centre of their own health. 

In Patient PrepRheum, we are looking at three key areas:
Biosimilars - a group of biologic medicines used to slow and stop the progression of Autoimmune arthritis;
How medications are approved via the Therapeutic Goods Administration and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme; and
the importance of good patient-doctor communication.

Hosted by CreakyJoints Australia National Coordinator Naomi Creek.
