At
the Annex to the Friends Fitness Center, Poverello offers alternative
remedies such as acupuncture and massage therapy practiced by licensed
professionals for problems such as neuropathy, suffered by those living
with HIV/AIDS. The practice of acupuncture involves the precise placements
of needles at meridian points on the body to effect positive physical and
mental changes. The Annex also offers both yoga, for physical relaxation
and stress reduction, and mediation classes to assist with the
spiritual needs of our clients. The requirements for participating in these
services are that the client is a resident of Broward County, FL, their HIV
status is positive, which is confirmed through a medical release letter
from their primary physician that also includes a release to allow the
client to perform exercise as well as receive alternative therapies. The
medical release form can be obtained at Friends Fitness Center or
through the client’s primary physician. |
