MSK and mental health are deeply connected.
Poor mental health worsens MSK symptoms.
MSK pain contributes to depression & anxiety.
Yet these issues are rarely treated together.
This #BoneAndJointWeek, let’s change that and treat the whole person.

A 10-Year Health Plan is only as strong as its actions.
If we want prevention, digital innovation, and care closer to home MSK must be front and centre of implementation.
