ROSELAND The Arthritis Foundation Tai Chi program will take place at 9 a.m. Wednesday, July 10, at the East Hanover Volunteer Fire Dept. Building, 323 Ridgedale Ave., East Hanover.
The program is open to residents of East Hanover and Roseland. A physicians release is required. All classes are taught by instructors who have undergone a special Arthritis Foundation instructor-training workshop.
The Arthritis Foundation Tai Chi program is designed for people of all ages seeking a joint-safe exercise routine, but particularly those with mild to moderate arthritis. Research shows moderate physical activity helps people with arthritis feel better and relieves pain. Tai Chi may be especially suitable for people with joint problems because its movements are slow and gentle, and the level of exertion can be adjusted to suit each persons physical condition. In addition, the movements in the style of Tai Chi used by the Arthritis Foundation are performed at higher stances, which make it easier and more comfortable to learn.
The benefits of Tai Chi may include reduced pain and stiffness, improved concentration and memory, greater balance, increased flexibility, enhanced muscle strength, along with improved ability to cope with stress and depression.
To register for The Arthritis Foundation Tai Chi Class or for more information, contact the East Hanover Health Department at 973-428-3035.
