Group #5 Arthritis

Description

Many changes take place in the life of an individual living with a chronic condition, one being arthritis. It not only affects the individual diagnosed with the disease but it also significantly impacts the people around them, especially their family. Juliana and Alicia are concerned about Dave and his well-being. Dave has been recently diagnosed with Arthritis, leading to various personal challenges. The pain and fatigue experienced is constant, the stiffness makes performance of daily tasks challenging, appetite is suppressed and overall outlook on life is diminished as depression sets in. Regardless of the degree of change that arthritis has brought into his life, Juliana and Alicia are optimistic, searching for solutions for their loved one to live life as normal as possible. One Health Club, a local fitness club has partnered up with Arthritis Health Professions Association to promote health and awareness through programs for those suffering with Arthritis. There you will meet their dedicated program director, Jessica, their well- rounded exercise coach and physiotherapist, Andrew, their creative dietician and nutritionist, Funke, and finally, their enthusiastic therapeutic representative, Iolanda. It is here where we embrace unity and bring together various professionals to help improve the quality of life of those diagnosed and suffering with Arthritis. Move beyond the unfairness of arthritis. Focus on the positive and make life as normal as possible. Come learn about the symptoms, ask additional questions, embrace options for lifestyles changes, therapy, and treatment.
