Serving the Nutritional Needs of People Living with HIV/AIDS
Our Services - Complimentary Therapies
 
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.
