Sponsorships

National_senior_gamesThe ability to move without pain is the cornerstone of healthy, active aging and the Euflexxa team understands how important it is for people with osteoarthritis (OA) to remain active. Whether it’s an evening walk, playing pick-up basketball or training for a Masters track meet, we know that OA affects “athletes” at every level.

Euflexxa has become the leader in advancing opportunities for seniors to participate in sports and fitness events at the national level. Since partnering with the National Senior Games Association in 2006, Euflexxa continues to promote active aging and OA education through its various sponsorships.

Euflexxa is a proud sponsor of:
