The Joyce Fitzpatrick Senior Center in East Islip now offers an exercise class for those suffering from arthritis.

Certain types of exercise have been shown to alleviate some symptoms of arthritis.  Studies have shown that specific movements can reduce pain and swelling in arthritic joints.

The program runs Thursdays at 10:00 a.m.  Participants are asked to call to register in advance. The Fitzpatrick Senior Center is located at 50 Irish Lane in E. Islip.  Please call (631) 221-5396.  The program is free and open to area senior citizens.
