Toledo, OH (PRWEB) August 22, 2004 -- Suzette Book, RKT and director of kinesiotherapy for CPW Rehab, has been certified by the Northwest Ohio Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation as a new trainer for the Arthritis Self Help Course (ASHC). Ms. Book will be responsible for training class leaders in a 16-county area. Arthritis is one of the nation’s most prevalent chronic health problems. In 2002, 70 million Americans (1 in 3 adults) were diagnosed with arthritis or chronic joint problems.

The Arthritis Self Help Course is designed to identify and teach arthritis sufferers the latest pain management techniques and help them develop individualized exercise programs. The class includes methods of stress and fatigue management, discussion of the purposes and uses of medications, the role of nutrition in arthritis management and methods of dealing with problems caused by arthritis. Participants are also shown new ways to communicate with family and friends and are encouraged to form partnerships with their health care teams.

“This is a group education program,” said Ms. Book. “People share their experiences and encourage each other to develop confidence in taking an active role in their arthritis management,” she added. As Director of Kinesiotherapy for CPW Rehab, Suzette Book works with patients and clients with arthritis on a daily basis. CPW Rehab offers the Arthritis Self Help Course as part of its Medical Fitness Program schedule.
