FREE POSTURE WORKSHOP MAY 20, 2015

7 - 9pm, West Van Memorial Library, Welsh Hall.

Drop in for an amazing must attend workshop explaining "WHY POSTURE IS SO IMPORTANT TO GOOD HEALTH" hosted by Denise Morbey, BScPT, Aquatic Centre Physiotherapy. This workshop will benefit all ages and physical levels.



Good posture places you in an alignment where stress is properly distributed to the intended muscles and ligaments. As a result, the muscles are allowed to work efficiently and as intended, which in turn decreases wear and tear that your joints undergo. This decreases your risk of joint discomfort and degenerative arthritis. Stress placed on the ligaments holding the joints in your spine together is also decreased with good posture. When your muscles, joints and ligaments are working as intended, your vital organs are able to remain in proper position and the nervous system is able to function normally!

Learning how to achieve “Neutral Posture”, will:
•    reduce muscular work
•    decrease stress on vertebral joints
•    maintain proper flexibility of muscles, joints and soft tissues
•    optimize respiration
•    achieve balance
