Following on from Jane Ferreira’s presentation at our November Monthly Meeting in 2025 we’ve been advised of a publication “A Community Toolkit for Supporting Musculoskeletal (MSK) Health” that may benefit our members.
The Move Well, Stay Well toolkit offers an easy, practical introduction to supporting musculoskeletal (MSK) health in our community. It explains what MSK conditions are, why they’re so common, and how simple actions—like encouraging movement, offering reassurance, or spotting early signs—can help people stay independent and reduce long‑term pain.
It highlights everyday self‑care ideas, from pacing and gentle activity to healthy lifestyle choices, and shows how all movement is good movement, whether that’s a short walk, wheeling, or building strength gradually.
The toolkit also gives a clear overview of local NHS MSK Together services, making it easier to understand where to turn for physiotherapy, exercise programmes, specialist support, and community resources—without needing clinical knowledge.
