Health Innovation Network: Enabling Self-management and Coping of Arthritic Pain through Exercise, ESCAPE-pain

Ten million people in the UK suffer pain and/or disability from knee and/or hip osteoarthritis. Enabling Self-management & Coping with Arthritis Pain using Exercise, ESCAPE-pain, is a rehabilitation programme that combines education, self-management strategies and exercise.

The programme:

  • reduces pain;
  • improves physical function, activity and mental wellbeing;
  • reduces healthcare utilisation;
  • is more cost-effective than usual care.

The Health Innovation Network has delivered training and support to enable NHS and leisure providers to transform care. Starting from just two sites in 2014, ESCAPE-pain is now delivered by physiotherapists and exercise professionals at nearly 300 locations across the UK; 20,000 people have benefited from the programme.
