If Apos® is helping, wouldn’t wearing it for longer be better?

Not necessarily.

Apos® isn’t designed to be worn all day. The aim is to give your body a short, repeated and controlled input while you move. This helps support the retraining of how you walk, with the goal of carrying that learning into everyday movement when Apos® is off.

That’s different from passive support, which may only help while you’re wearing it. Apos® focuses on re-education: helping your brain and body practise a different movement pattern over time.

Around one hour a day is a starting prescription, not a target to beat. A trained clinician reviews your progress and can adjust your treatment to suit you.

It’s not a quick fix. It’s about supporting better movement through consistent, personalised treatment. Apos® is NICE-recommended for knee osteoarthritis and clinically proven in hip and persistent lower back pain.

Ask us if Apos® could be suitable for you. How do you fit treatment or rehabilitation into your day?

“Bone on bone” means you need surgery.

Not necessarily.

If you’ve heard this after a scan, it can feel as though your future has already been decided. But imaging describes changes in the joint. It does not, by itself, tell us exactly how much pain you should feel, how you will move or what your next step should be.

Your symptoms, movement, strength and daily life matter too.

This doesn’t dismiss your scan or your clinician’s advice. Surgery can be the right option for some people. But it isn’t an automatic next step for everyone with advanced knee osteoarthritis. Many people manage significant joint changes without an operation.

There can be a step between non-surgical care and surgery: a personalised plan focused on helping manage pain and support movement. High-quality research, consistent with real-world clinical experience, supports considering non-surgical options for suitable people.

Apos® is NICE-recommended for knee osteoarthritis, and clinically proven in hip and persistent lower back pain. For some people, Apos® may help manage knee pain; for others, it may be considered as part of a personalised plan, with suitability assessed by a trained clinician.

To everyone living with arthritis or an MSK condition: we see you and recognise what you face every day.

Today is World Arthritis Day.

Arthritis UK and NHS data highlight the scale:
• Around 10 million people in the UK live with arthritis
• More than 20 million live with a musculoskeletal condition
• 134,652 knee replacements were performed in England in 2024

Thank you to clinicians and everyone involved in supporting people living with arthritis.

We also recognise the information, support and community offered by and .

Your walking speed could be a sixth vital sign.

In clinic, we routinely measure blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation. Many clinicians now argue that gait speed deserves a place alongside them, as a simple marker of mobility, confidence and how someone is managing day to day.

When we assess someone with knee, hip or lower back pain, we often see the same pattern: slower walking, shorter steps and more time with both feet on the ground. That’s a compensation to avoid pain, not a personal failing.

The useful thing is that walking can now be measured more simply and repeatedly. Everyday technology, such as a smartphone, can support basic gait measures like walking speed, step length and time in stance. It doesn’t diagnose anything or replace a clinical assessment, but it can help us build our hypotheses, compare movement over time rather than relying on one look down a corridor. Research increasingly supports this more practical approach.

Over time, a slower, less confident walk can mean less muscle work and less everyday movement, which may make it harder to get back to the activities you enjoy.

Apos® is a personalised, non-invasive medical device calibrated by a clinician to support load redistribution and gait re-education. It’s worn for around one hour a day at home and considered alongside exercise, not instead of it. Apos® is NICE-recommended for knee osteoarthritis, and clinically proven in hip and persistent lower back pain.

Descending stairs is often the first thing people with knee pain quietly stop doing. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone 👣

Going downstairs can place multiple times your body weight through the knee. Compared with walking on level ground, the knee has to control your body as it lowers, increasing the load through the joint. That may explain why stairs hurt more than flat walking.

Research and real-world clinical experience support the importance of understanding how load is managed, not simply avoiding movement altogether.

A few practical tips:
✅ Keep doing small, comfortable amounts where you can, rather than avoiding stairs completely.
✅ Use the handrail and take your time.
✅ If pain persists or worsens, speak with a healthcare professional.

For people with knee osteoarthritis, Apos® is a personalised, non-invasive medical device calibrated to your individual walking pattern. It is designed to redistribute load away from painful areas and re-educate muscles to absorb loads better. Apos® is worn at home for around one hour a day and is considered alongside exercise, not instead of it.

Does your joint pain seem to predict the weather?

The honest answer is: research is mixed. But what many people report is remarkably consistent. Cold, damp days can make a painful knee, hip or lower back feel stiffer, more sensitive and harder work.

That does not mean it is “all in your head”. Cold can make muscles and soft tissues feel less flexible, while changes in routine, activity and how we move may also affect symptoms. The weather is not necessarily damaging your joint, but it may change how your body experiences pain and stiffness.

What usually helps? Try not to rest completely through a cold snap. Gentle movement, warmth, pacing and regular exercise can help keep joints moving comfortably. Start slowly and listen to your body.

Apos® may be considered alongside exercise and other conservative care. It is personalised for each person, and suitability is assessed individually by a trained clinician. Apos® is NICE-recommended for knee osteoarthritis; suitability for hip or lower back pain is also assessed on an individual basis.

At first glance, you probably wouldn’t guess “medical device”. It looks like an ordinary trainer. That’s the point: the science is hidden in plain sight. 👣

Apos® is a CE-marked, non-invasive, drug-free medical device. It is NICE-recommended for knee osteoarthritis, within specific NHS criteria, and has been selected for NHS England’s MedTech Funding Mandate. These are not just unverified claims. They reflect assessment and recommendation by organisations whose job is to examine the evidence carefully.

The science behind Apos® is well established. Biomechanics looks at how load travels through the foot, knee and hip with every step. Two adjustable pods beneath each sole are calibrated by a trained clinician to your individual walking pattern. They are designed to help redistribute load away from painful areas and retrain movement.

You wear Apos® for around one hour a day at home while carrying on with your normal routine. The aim is to support better movement, with benefits beyond the time you are wearing it. A substantial body of peer-reviewed research supports this approach, alongside real-world clinical experience.

Apos® is available privately, through insurance and within the NHS.

So, don’t judge a book by its cover, or a medical device by how much it looks like a trainer. Find out whether Apos® could be suitable for you at aposhealth.co.uk.

What would you do again if knee pain wasn’t holding you back? 👣

Walk the dog. Get back in the garden. Return to the gym. Stand comfortably at a gig. Play with your grandchildren.
