Osteoarthritis Care Plans

What are Osteoarthritis Care Plans?

Osteoarthritis Care Plans provide a structured, multidisciplinary approach to the care of Peoplecare members with osteoarthritis. They provide an opportunity to delay or prevent surgery, as well as to reduce pain, relieve symptoms, and improve function and quality of life.

Our partner Kieser provides strength and mobility care plans to members who suffer from Hip, Knee and Spinal Osteoarthritis. Through their network of integrated physiotherapy, rehabilitation and strength training clinics, the programs are designed to help reduce osteoarthritis pain levels, improve mobility, prevent or delay joint replacement or spinal surgery and provide members with a long-term self-management plan.
