In modern medicine, a holistic approach to treating conditions has become essential. This approach recognises the close relationship between body and mind and emphasises the importance of not only drug treatment but also lifestyle changes. One condition that deserves particular attention within this framework is osteoarthritis, a common joint disorder that has significant impact on patients’ quality of life. In addition, lower back pain is a widespread complaint that affects millions of people worldwide and is a major source of disability. In this e-learning module, entitled ‘Physical activity as key to well-being: osteoarthritis and lower back pain’, we will elaborate on the importance of physical activity in the treatment and prevention of these conditions.
