Steamboat Springs — Living with arthritis can be incredibly painful. But local health officials say that with a little stretching and movement relieving arthritis pain has become easier than ever.
In an attempt to reach more elderly Routt County residents suffering from arthritis the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association is presenting a free arthritis fitness categorise beginning next week.
“Arthritis can be stiff and restrictive — that’s why we back up populate to act moving,” said Jeanne Upbin fitness coordinator for the VNA’s Aging Well schedule.
The classes mix sitting and standing exercises for people of all abilities and can be beneficial for any elderly residents living with arthritis she said.
The program was developed through the National Arthritis Foundation which has found that such programs often offer relief from arthritis. Upbin said.
This is the back up time the categorise is being offered in South Routt. There are 11 other sites in the county where the program is offered including venues in Steamboat Springs and Hayden.
“It’s really beneficial to attend both classes,” Upbin said. “It’s really good for you.”
Oak Creek resident and physical therapist Molly McClure is teaching the course. She recently became certified to inform the cover through the VNA.
“The class is a directive to help populate act their range of communicate and strengthen their muscles in request to relive their pain,” she said.
Participating in the categorise can be empowering too she said.
“It’s for populate to take charge of their lives to have an awareness of their own bodies to minimize their limitations,” she said.
Spending time with other elderly residents also is beneficial for categorise participants she said.
“One of the most important aspects is the socialization and sharing of their situations both with their arthritis and otherwise,” she said. “It’s fabulous.”
Registration for the class begins at 11 a m. Wednesday. Classes are from 11 a m to noon Mondays and Wednesdays beginning Sept. 10 for six weeks.
