Stretching for mobility is a great program to get you up and moving again. Gisela Ko takes you through one hour of exercises that help relieve arthritis, reduce aches and pain, making movement easier.
Stretches are gentle and have been adapted so participants can do them sitting or using a chair for support. Drop-in classes are held in the lower viewing room at the back of the arena on Tuesday afternoons from 1 to 2 p.m. and Friday mornings from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Classes are held at the Christina Lake Community Hall on Wednesday afternoons from 1 to 2 p.m. A minimum drop in fee applies to these programs.
