This project has been ongoing within the Centre for the past year. It has been funded by the Arthritis Society of Canada and consists of five presentations to the community about various aspects of Arthritis, such as; Types of Arthritis, Nutrition and the part it plays, Anti-Inflammatory Foods and how they can help, Exercises that benefit in pain management, and then a full breakdown in Pain Management. We created a meal with all anti-inflammatory foods and everyone was given a meal and recipe. We had a presentation on foods and where the foods can be found in the grocery store. This project was a great support and eye opener to many. We look forward to finding other ways in which we can bring attention to this disease and have other professionals come to the Centre to talk further on ways to control pain.
Thank you extended to the Arthritis Society of Canada for funding the way for this program to happen.
