🎙️ Episode 26: Is Sitting Bad for Our Health?

This week Debbie and Katy are back after the summer break to tackle a big question: how bad is sitting for our health, especially with inflammatory arthritis?

They first discuss their summers, exam results, holidays andhaving a bout of Covid thrown into the mix. They then cover:  

• Why sitting for long periods can harm joints
• Simple hacks to move more: school runs, dog walks, standing desks, fitness trackers
• Supporting children with JIA at school: healthcare plans & small adjustments
• University and work Disability Student Allowance, workplace support, and useful tools
• Health updates: new JIA guideline consultation & vaccine news (chickenpox, shingles, flu, COVID)
