Tomando Control de Su Salud es un curso de seis semanas con sesiones de 2½ horas cada una. En este programa se enseñan técnicas para manejar los síntomas de enfermedades crónicas, como la fatiga, el dolor, el insomnio, la dificultad para respirar y el estrés, así como problemas emocionales como la depresión, la ira, el miedo y la frustración.
Walk With Ease
Walk With Ease is designed for people with arthritis—young and old, male and female, fit and not-so-fit.
It is also suitable for people without arthritis who would like to begin a regular walking program to gain the benefits of regular aerobic exercise.
If you can be on your feet for 10 minutes without increased pain, you can probably participate successfully, and the program can be modified to meet your needs
