Holy Name Hospital Osteoporosis Exercise Program: Starts 10/24&25

New sessions of Holy Name Hospital's program for individuals with osteoporosis will be held from 5:15 to 6:15 PM starting on either Monday, October 24th, or Tuesday, October 25th. Each program lasts for six weeks. Classes are led by a physical therapist from the Rehabilitation Department.

Exercise is an important component of an osteoporosis prevention and treatment program. The classes focus on the proper progression of activity, how to stretch and strengthen muscles safely, and how to correct poor posture habits. Not only will exercise improve bone health, but it increases muscle strength, coordination, balance and leads to better overall health. Women and men older than age 35 can slow bone loss with regular exercise.

The fee is $85.00. A medical release from your physician and pre-payment are required at the time of registration. Class size is limited, register early. For more information or registration forms, please call Community Health Services at 201-227-6250 or visit http://www.HolyName.org for more about this and other programs and classes offered by Holy Name Hospital.
