Arthritis Self Help Course
June 26, 2008
A Six-Week Course that can Change Your Life!!
For people with arthritis or fibromyalgia, living the most active life with the least amount of pain, fatigue and disability involves becoming an active partner in your arthritis care. This means working with your health-care providers as well as learning how to manage your arthritis on a day-to-day basis. The Arthritis Self-Help Course is designed to help you learn and practice the different skills needed to build your own individualized self-management program, and gain the confidence to carry out this program.
Past participants of the Arthritis Self-Help Course have experienced such benefits as increased knowledge about their arthritis, increased frequency of exercise and relaxation, increased self-confidence, decreased depression, decreased pain, and decreased physician visits.
