ESCAPE-pain Online is freely available to anyone but is aimed specifically at people who have knee or hip osteoarthritis. It was designed to support people who have attended the face-to-face ESCAPE-pain programme to continue to exercise after the programme has ended. We have also found that it is useful for people who don’t live near a face-to-face class.

ESCAPE-pain Online provide users with a structured education and exercise programme of 12 sessions over six weeks. There are two compulsory sessions per week and they are a combination of education and exercise.

Education – watch engaging animations and education videos to learn to manage your condition better.
Exercise – choose between 16 high quality exercise videos to improve your joint pain.
The programme requires you to record your progress and repetitions which you are prompted to do with clear and simple guidance. Some exercises will ask you to record how many you completed in the allocated time, while others will ask you to just confirm if you completed the exercise or not.
