As if the setting is not unique enough, the participants are also an inspiring lot, including countless landmine victim runners who put able-bodied runners to shame.

STIFF NECK? TENSE SHOULDERS? SORE LOWER BACK? PAINFUL HIPS & KNEES?

Chronic stiffness, aches and pains are alarmingly common these days - fuelled by poor lifestyle habits, too little activity & exercise, and a lack of understanding of our own bodies. We need to take charge now and turn this sorry situation around!

Part of the proceeds of this course will be donated to Kasih Hospice Society, which offers palliative care to the terminally ill

1/2 day workshop: “PREVENTING & TREATING NECK & SHOULDER PAIN”

It was a full turnout for this workshop, indicating that many of us must suffer from neck & shoulder pain!

In 2 1/2 packed hours, we explained some of the more common causes of this common condition, and how, if left untreated, can develop into serious cases of immobility and loss of function. However, such conditions are usually preventable. Participants learnt what neck & shoulder pain is, so that they can become aware of it instead of simply assuming that it is a normal result of stress or ageing. We then proceeded to demonstrate the most effective means of treating such conditions - through a combination of therapeutic exercise, proper stretching and effective massage.

The workshop generated many questions and much interest - a more extensive event is now planned at the same venue!

Date: Saturday 20 Aug 2011 3:00 - 5:30pm
