Re: ASMP, Joints in Motion, Society/Foundation

[Guest guest]

Janet,

When I was first diagnosed, I contacted the Arthritis Foundation and got a

lot of information. Almost too much, I was overwhelmed between that

information and what I was picking up off the internet. In any event, they

do offer an Arthritis Self Help Course, which is likely similar to the

program you mention below. I have not attended any sessions, since my

schedule is ugly as it is, without laying this on top of it.

However, the chapter volunteers were very helpful and sent me a huge pile of

information. My chapter also offers People With Arthritis Can Exercise

classes and Arthritis Information Meetings, for what it's worth.

As I have said in two previous posts ASMP is an acronym for Arthritis Self

Management Program. & nbsp; It was designed by a group in California, in the

70s and since has spread all over the North American continent. & nbsp; It is

administered by the Arthritis Society (Foundation) and is run throughout the

entire

year. >>
