Prevent Falls/Bodywork Workshop

Is it possible to correct posture through remedial exercises? YES

Will learning proper body mechanics help maintain correct spine alignment? YES

Does poor posture affect emotional and mental health? YES

You may have scoliosis, swayback, kyphosis or other spine misalignment, but your brain’s motor center can relearn how to stand, sit and walk in alignment.

In this workshop you will learn to:

• Alleviate neck and back strain from daily activities that injure your spine: sitting too long at the computer or TV, carrying a heavy bag, standing at the sink or walking stairs.

• Prevent falls with leg strengthening and balance exercises.

• Activate your "righting reflex" to train the brain to avoid accidents.
