On 24th November NASS and AStretch ran our first online education session for Branch Physiotherapists. It was attended by physios across the UK, from Dingwall to Taunton. In the session, we discussed Top Tips on Running a NASS group. Heather looked at the research into exercise for ax SpA, NICE guidelines and what potential exercises make up a NASS session. Marie Therese discussed the importance of building a group community as well as looking at the challenges of group work. We also discussed practical tips for running sessions in gyms and virtually.
We hope to run these sessions every 6 months to provide support for physiotherapists running NASS groups. It should be an opportunity to allow people to discuss any problems or issues they are having as well as sharing ideas on what has worked well. If you would like to get involved, please contact sally@nass.co.uk.
