"Artists with Arthritis: The Challenges and the Progress of New Therapies" is the keynote presentation at Living Healthy With Arthritis 2009, an annual program presented by the Arizona Arthritis Center.
Keynote speaker Dr. James Louie, professor emeritus of medicine, rheumatology at the University of California, Los Angeles, will discuss how the works of Renoir, Dufy and other modern artists were, and are, affected by their arthritis.
Louie's multi-image presentation using art will illustrate the effects of arthritis on these talented individuals and show how scientific-based therapies have improved the care and outcome of artists with arthritis.
The program also will feature sessions on stretching, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, foot health, Laughter Yoga, mind-body approaches to healing pain, and exercises to correct biochemical and anatomical imbalances caused by sedentary living. A light lunch is included.
