Joint and Mobility Health

Our programme is aimed at helping individuals with significant conditions impacting their joints, as well as those awaiting - or who have recently had - joint replacement surgery.

We’re here to help get you moving

Joints and musculoskeletal issues are some of the most common reasons for sick leave in the fire service, so ensuring you have support available to you – both in your career and into retirement – is vital.

With that in mind, we now run a Joint and Mobility Health 5-day programme at our centres on certain weeks throughout the year, aimed at helping people awaiting joint replacement surgery (predominantly hip and knee), anyone with significant arthritis, or anyone who is more than six-weeks post op from joint replacement surgery.

The programme allows you to learn more about how to manage worn-out joints and exercise carefully and safely.

There is also the chance to partake in group exercise sessions (both in and out of a pool), as well as educational sessions on the importance of joint health and ways of looking after your joints throughout your life.

Hear from someone who was supported

One person who attended the week at Marine Court in October 2024 - which was generously sponsored by our corporate partner, Tuffking - told us: "I am a wholetime firefighter who is recovering from an ACL reconstruction and all the physios were great, as they had your interests in their best interests. "They push you beyond what you believe you can do and really encourage you to be confident and positive. The overall stay was amazing, and the level of services and facilities cannot be frowned upon, especially as this is a charity. I will be encouraging colleagues who need physio or help to definitely get in touch."
