How to apply for Tai Chi for Arthritis — Franklin County
Kerr-Tar Area Agency on Aging (Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments)
Who it's for
A low-impact, weight-bearing exercise class using slow, gentle movements, deep breathing and meditation. It is based on sun-style tai chi and uses flowing movements to build muscular strength and protect the joints. The gentle stretches help relieve pain while improving strength, range of motion, balance and mental health, and it is safe across a wide range of conditions and abilities. It works alongside other treatments rather than replacing them.
Classes run on a schedule and in a place the agency sets, and they fill up — contact the Kerr-Tar Area Agency on Aging to find the next one near you. The page publishes no fee and no income test; these are Older Americans Act health-promotion programmes, normally free to the participant, but confirm when you register.
People who qualify for one senior program often qualify for others. See everything you may qualify for — free, no SSN, about five minutes.
