A Manchester and Cheshire guide to staying mobile, active, and pain-controlled this winter.

You feel it, but you can’t describe it. A dull ache, a persistent stiffness, or an unusual discomfort that comes and goes without warning. You’ve explained it to friends, to family, even to your GP - but still, it remains an unsolved mystery.
