If you have a form of arthritis or a related condition, your physician may
recommend that you begin an exercise program to help improve joint flexibility
and decrease pain.
The Human Motion Vitality Center of Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital offers
arthritis sufferers a setting for improved physical well being and social
interaction with others experiencing similar conditions. The center, which
features a warm water pool, presents Arthritis Aquatics classes approved
by the National Arthritis Foundation.
Water exercise is especially good for people with arthritis, because it
allows individuals to exercise without putting excess strain on joints and
muscles. The Human Motion Vitality Center's Arthritis Aquatics classes give
participants the opportunity to do gentle activities with guidance provided
by a certified instructor.
Now is the perfect time to find an outlet to help alleviate some of the
daily pain and discomfort caused by arthritis. Participants should have
comfortable shoulder, elbow and knee motion and require no more than minimal
assistance when entering and exiting the pool. A physician referral is necessary.
The cost is $25 per month.
