Feeling Good With Arthritis...Yes you can!

PHOENIX, Arizona (December 16, 2010)—Sounds like an oxymoron but now feeling good has taken on new meaning when it comes to Arthritis. One out of every five people has this incurable disease. Most everyone knows someone who suffers with arthritis pain but now there’s new hope thanks to Arthritis Educational Specialist Jan Revella, R.N. and her course “Feeling Good With Arthritis”.

Having spent over 30 years conducting free public seminars for hundreds of thousands of people with arthritis, Jan was encouraged to produce her course into a program that could be viewed at home and taken advantage of by people who are unable to attend the live course. The course was shot live on location at AT Still College of Health Sciences in Mesa in early October of this year and is now ready for distribution worldwide.

“Arthritis education is not new,” says Jan. “I have been conducting free seminars and workshops for over 30 years for people in Arizona, working alongside some of the top rheumatologists and orthopaedic doctors in America with the goal to do everything in my power to help people with arthritis feel better. Doctors simply do not have the time needed to educate patients. They have to see as many people as possible, making it very difficult to totally understand what the patient is going through. My approach has always been to work closely with the person with arthritis, to understand their feelings and provide personalized information to help them through the process of understanding arthritis, which leads to knowing how to better live with it. It works! Over the past 30 plus years, I have had several hundred thousand people attend my programs and today I have friends all over the country who let me know how thankful they are for their new lease on life. What’s different now is that we have produced the course into a home study program so people everywhere can benefit.”

Paul Howard, M.D, has been featured multiple times by Phoenix Magazine as a Rheumatology “Top Doc” in Arizona, says, “Jan has a style and approach to helping people with arthritis that works. She is the only non-physician I have ever known to gain the respect, admiration and support of professionals like myself who are in the business of treating people with arthritis. I am honored to be associated with her.”

“My patients tell me that Jan’s Feeling Good With Arthritis course really helped them” states Dennis Crandall, M.D. and Medical Director of Sonoran Spine Center. Dr. Crandall adds, “people tell me that Jan has a way of explaining things so they can understand and that she really cares. I encourage all my patients with arthritis to take the course.”
