[Paddlewise] Greenland Style Paddles

I have several questions:

First, I have been paddling for just two years, but I'm not a kid.  I have
arthritis in my right shoulder and tendonitis in my left elbow.  I have read
that the Greenland style of paddling is less stressful on joints since it is
more aerobic than strength orientated is there any truth in this?

Second, If the above statement is true where can I try out this type of
paddle and learn the correct paddling style to go with it? (I live in Rhode
Island)

Last, How do I select the correct length paddle?  I don't have a Greenland
style kayak, I have a Wilderness Systems Cape Horn which is a relatively
wide high volume kayak.
