Joint Health Workshop: Have Stronger, Younger, Healthier Joints The human body contains 143 joints. Strong, flexible joints are needed for almost every activity we do – walking, lifting, bending, etc. Studies show that at any given time, 1/3 of all adults worldwide are experiencing some sort of joint pain. When your joints hurt, even simple movements become painful and that greatly lowers quality of life. The good news is, your joints were meant to last a lifetime and studies are showing that you CAN reduce pain and restore your joints to a stronger, healthier condition. In this workshop, we’ll talk about: various causes of joint pain; treatments currently available; pros and cons of taking prescription drugs to mask pain; latest research information on nutrients that can help repair joints; results of a breakthrough study on gelatin; simple joint lubrication movements for hips, knees and shoulders to sooth those achy joints; a few important stretches to help relieve joint compaction and increase range of motion and a simple technique that’ll align joints and cut down on wear and tear.

Tai Chi for Arthritis Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese tradition involving a series of movements performed in a slow, focused manner and accompanied by deep breathing. It is noncompetitive, gentle and flowing. Since Tai Chi is a life-long exercise, anyone can do it, regardless of their physical condition or age. Tai Chi for Arthritis was developed by Dr. Lam in 1997 specifically to address arthritis by providing a safe and enjoyable and easy-to-learn program. Tai Chi can deliver relief from pain and depression, improve relaxation, increase one’s ability to move, and benefit health in general. Other benefits include flexibility, balance and stability. Instructor Jay Soderberg is certified to teach Tai Chi for Arthritis and Tai Chi for Health. #TAICHI- FREE Open House Wednesday, Mar. 11 6:30 - 7:30 pm FREE East Middle School - Locker Bank Lower South Jay Soderberg

Joint Health Workshop: Have Stronger, Younger, Healthier Joints The human body contains 143 joints. Strong, flexible joints are needed for almost every activity we do – walking, lifting, bending, etc. Unfortunately, studies show that at any given time, 1/3 of all adults worldwide are experiencing some sort of joint pain. When your joints hurt, even simple movements become painful and that greatly lowers quality of life. The good news is, your joints were meant to last a lifetime and studies are showing that you CAN reduce pain and restore your joints to a stronger, healthier condition. In this workshop, we’ll talk about: various causes of joint pain; treatments currently available; pros and cons of taking prescription drugs to mask pain; latest research information on nutrients that can help repair joints; results of a breakthrough study on gelatin; simple joint lubrication movements for hips, knees and shoulders to sooth those achy joints; a few important stretches to help relieve joint compaction and increase range of motion and a simple technique that’ll align joints and cut down on wear and tear. #JOINT-SP-15 Wednesday, May 6 $29 for 1 class Janice Novak
