Yes absolutely, it is the same. Send me an email on kate@pmrgcauk.com with your name and address and we will send you an information pack in the post. Mention that it is the GCA pack that you want.

Hi, looking on the age chart my age 74 for getting PMR is pretty normal. My doctor thought I was ' rather young to get it. My sister in law has it too and she is 64!

This forum is so good. I get good days and bad. Wonder if I overdo it on good days? See the stretching is good and helps the pain. How much exercise should one do?
