Polymyalgia Guidebook
The content and format of this booklet was co-created by people with PMR and health professional experts in PMR following a series of focus groups. The booklet is the first dedicated educational resource focussing on exercise and activity in PMR to be produced internationally and is the product of a physiotherapy PhD study completed in 2023. The booklet is intended to be an educational resource for patients, family members and health professionals working with people who are living with PMR. Everyone reading it is encouraged to complete the evaluation (see hyperlink/ QR code) on the final page so this can be continually improved.
