The Arthritis Foundation's Exercise Program is available in Helena through Community Education, offering structured movement classes designed for people managing arthritis pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. The program is taught by trained instructors and built around exercises that can be done seated, standing, or lying on the floor — an approach designed to accommodate a wide range of physical ability.
Classes include endurance-building routines, range-of-motion exercises, and health education components. The Arthritis Foundation developed the program specifically to help participants maintain functional ability and reduce day-to-day pain, making it distinct from general fitness classes.
Helena has a substantial older adult population, and access to evidence-based exercise programming is a recurring community health priority. Interested residents should contact Community Education directly for current class schedules, locations, and registration information.
