ARMA

We have published our five year strategy.

20 Millions Reasons.

Let's work together to improve the MSK health of the nation.

MSK health is about more than healthcare. It’s about opportunity, independence and prosperity.
Today, we launch ARMA’s new paper "MSK Health: The Foundation of a Thriving Nation."
With 21.3 million people in the UK living with an MSK condition, we’re calling for:
🔹 A national MSK strategy
🔹 MSK health embedded across policy
🔹 Coordinated local action
Better MSK health helps build a thriving nation.

It’s #WorldOsteoporosisDay. Osteoporosis can be a hidden condition. You may not know your bones are becoming weaker until a fracture changes your life.
For some people, a fracture can mean pain, loss of independence, time away from work and a long road to recovery. For older people in particular, a fracture can profoundly affect their ability to live independently.
But osteoporosis isn't an inevitable part of ageing, and we can protect bone health, identify risk, and reduce the likelihood of fractures.
Today, we're raising awareness of osteoporosis and the 3.5 million people living with it — because behind the statistics are real people, families and lives changed by fragile bones.
On the last day of #BoneAndJointWeek, we're highlighting another #20MillionReasons to make MSK health a priority.

This World Paediatric Bone and Joint Day, we’re recognising all the children and young people who live with bone and joint conditions too. For some, these conditions can have a profound, lasting impact on their lives.
Growing up with pain, disability or a condition that affects mobility can mean facing challenges that other children and young people may never have to consider. It can affect education, friendships, independence, family life, and the simple things that make childhood what it should be.
As part of #BoneAndJointWeek, we’re remembering that behind our #20MillionReasons are millions of individual people, including children and young people, whose lives are shaped by MSK conditions.
Every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, play and live their life to the fullest.
20 million people. 20 million reasons to make MSK health a priority.

Movement matters at every stage of life. Movement, strength and balance can help prevent MSK problems before they become pain, disability and loss of independence.
But for people already living with an MSK condition, movement can be even more important.
The right movement, supported by the right advice and treatment, can help people manage symptoms, maintain strength and mobility, build confidence, and stay independent.
Because movement isn't just about preventing problems. For millions of people living with an MSK condition, it can be part of living well with one.
And that's one of our #20MillionReasons to make MSK health a priority.
20 million people. 20 million reasons. #BoneAndJointWeek
