Physical activity during and after a residential rehabilitation programme for people living with axial spondyloarthritis: a qualitative exploration of patient and health care professional perspectives
Rehabilitation programmes for people with axSpA should be holistic. Framing PA in terms of enjoyment, instead of purely for health, may support PA maintenance. For HCPs, creating a more socially supportive environment, involving important others, and focusing on techniques to support autonomous motivation can help those with axSpA maintain PA after a rehabilitation programme.
