[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Are activities and services offered in English and French? ” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Our services are currently offered in both French and English, and ARS aims to maintain bilingualism in its services. Most activities are offered in both languages.<\/p>\n

The degree of difficulty and the pace of the exercises make them suitable not only for people with arthritis, but also for anyone who wants to maintain their mobility and flexibility.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The exercise sessions are held face-to-face, but also online where anyone can, without leaving the comfort of their own home, follow the live instructions and demonstrations of an experienced instructor [in the context of the health guidelines, the sessions could be held online only].<\/p>\n

Arthritis is a term that covers more than 100 diseases characterised by inflammation of joints and other parts of the body. Inflammation is a medical term for pain, stiffness, redness and swelling. If left unchecked, inflammation can cause significant, often permanent, damage to the affected areas, resulting in poor function and disability.<\/p>\n

There are two main types of arthritis: inflammatory arthritis and osteoarthritis. Arthritis is a chronic disease, which means that it affects people continuously, permanently or recurrently for periods ranging from several months to a lifetime.<\/p>\n

Osteoarthritis is a progressive disease of the entire joints, most commonly affecting the joints of the hands, feet, hips, knees and spine, although almost any joint can be affected. It was once thought that osteoarthritis was caused by the wear and tear associated with aging. It is now known that osteoarthritis is the result of the body’s inability to repair joint tissues that are damaged due to abnormal joint loading, joint injuries and obesity. Osteoarthritis is more common in older people and, for reasons still unknown, even more common in women. Genetic factors are also involved, although not all are known and understood. All these factors can cause inflammation and degradation of the joint cartilage and underlying bone. Osteoarthritis is a common cause of joint pain and can lead to reduced range of motion and mobility of joints.<\/p>\n

Arthritis is serious. It is the most common chronic disease in Canada. If left untreated, it can cause significant, often permanent, damage to joints and sometimes even to the skin, organs and other parts of the body. This damage will in turn lead to pain, fatigue, poor function and disability that could significantly reduce your quality of life. Most forms of arthritis are incurable, so once you have been diagnosed with arthritis, you never get rid of the disease.<\/p>\n

Your doctor will be able to make a diagnosis based on your medical history, physical examination and diagnostic tests, including blood tests and X-rays. Early diagnosis is essential for successful treatment, so if you think you have symptoms of arthritis, it is very important to talk to your doctor as soon as possible to get a diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Arthritis affects people of all ages, from babies to adults, and once you have it, it’s for life.<\/p>\n

Today, one in five Canadians has arthritis, a disease that affects men, women, girls and boys of all ages and backgrounds. Although arthritis mainly affects adults, it can also affect children. However, genetics, age and lifestyle are factors that can increase the risk of developing arthritis. One in two people aged 65 and over has the disease.<\/p>\n

Each form of arthritis has its own risk factors, some of which we cannot control (non-modifiable risk factors) and some of which we can control (modifiable risk factors). The most common risk factors for developing arthritis include the following.<\/p>\n
