RVNAhealth Introduces a New Wellness Class:

Chair Fit

RVNAhealth is excited to announce the introduction of its new public fitness class, “Chair Fit”. An ongoing weekly drop-in class (come for one or come for all!) that focuses on strengthening and cardiovascular fitness even though you are sitting. This is perfect for someone with mobility issues, or feeling unsafe while standing. We want you to improve your ability to get up! There is standing in this class, but all while holding a chair. It is important to exercise your brain at the same time so exercises are fun and stimulate your mind!

RVNAhealth Physical Therapist, Kris Greco, is so passionate about bringing mobility back to people with balance issues. "Exercise programs and fun social interactions shouldn't exclude those who are working towards improving their strength. This program will support them too."

Kris Greco is an experienced Physical Therapist and certified LSVT BIG practitioner with a long history of working with the neurological population including those with Parkinson's Disease and dementia.

RVNAhealth’s Chair Fit classes are offered every Tuesday, 10:30-11:15am, at the RVNAhealth Rehabilitation & Wellness Center located at 27 Governor Street, Ridgefield. Class fees are $20 per class. Registration is required for your initial class in order to receive and sign class waivers. Class size is kept to 10 participants only for safety and attention to each individual. For questions, please contact the RVNAhealth Rehabilitation & Wellness Center at 203.438.7862, or email RehabCenter@rvnahealth.org.

Kristine Greco, MPT, LSVT BIG, CCVR

Kris Greco, MPT, is a staff physical therapist who works with both our outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation patients. She has a particular interest in treating clients recovering from neurologic conditions, such as stroke or head injury, as well as those with neurologic diagnoses like Parkinson's Disease.

Kris has completed training in LSVT BIG (a program aimed at maintaining and maximizing function in individuals living with Parkinson's Disease). “I am fond of this approach because it is based on well researched and verified scientific principles while incorporating important functional skills required in everyday life,” she says.

She earned her Master of Science in Physical Therapy from Drexel University and Bachelor of Science in Public Health from James Madison University. On joining RVNAhealth in 2017, she says, “I decided to seek a position specifically with RVNAhealth because of the extremely positive reputation which the agency has built in this community and the smaller size of the organization, allowing for close communication and relationships between team members.”

Kris grew up in Huntington Station, NY, and now lives in New Fairfield, CT. In her free time she enjoys cooking and, along with her family, biking and kayaking.
