Diakon Community Services will host a Walk With Ease program in Tamaqua.

No matter if you need relief from arthritis pain or just want to be active, the Arthritis Foundation’s Walk With Ease program can teach you how to safely make physical activity a part of your life.

Studies show that Walk With Ease is proven to reduce the pain and discomfort of arthritis; increase balance, strength and walking pace; build confidence in your ability to be physically active; and improve overall health. The course will be facilitated by a certified trainer and there is no charge for the course or the program guide book.

Classes meet on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:30-9:30 a.m. from June 21 through Aug. 6 at the Tamaqua High School track. No classes the week of July 5.

Preregistration is required by June 11.
