Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Program | Bacharach Institute for Rehabilitation
Provides an opportunity for individuals with arthritis to meet others with arthritis and to have fun. Program participants are led by trained personnel through a series of specially designed exercises which, with the aid of the water's buoyancy and resistance, can help improve joint flexibility. The warm water & gentle movements can also relieve pain and stiffness. This is an ongoing class that meets once a week for 1 hour.
