Free Weekly Arthritis Exercise Class
Glen Cove Hospital offers a free, weekly class for people with arthritis on an ongoing basis every Thursday, 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., in the hospital’s 1 South Dining Room, 101 St. Andrew’s Lane, Glen Cove. The class is taught by Merav deGuzman, the hospital’s recreational therapy supervisor, who is also certified by the Arthritis Foundation. The low-impact exercises are designed to reduce joint pain and decrease stiffness. The program is open to the community. Most of the exercises in the classes are done while seated in a chair and intended to strengthen the muscles that support the joints and keep them moving easily, reducing stiffness. Participants will also benefit from cardiovascular exercise performed while seated; balance exercises; and relaxation practices, including deep breathing, imagery and meditation. For more information or to reserve a place in the arthritis class (limited space available), contact Merav deGuzman at Glen Cove Hospital at 516-674-7696.
