Join us for a FREE seminar to guide you to a healthy Thoracic Spine on Monday, February 15th, 2010 at 7 p.m.
This free seminar will give you glimpse into a multi-disciplinary approach toward having a healthy, pain free spine. Think of it as Tea for Twelve...the 12 thoracic vertebrae. An opportunity to address the pains of modern life (hunching over our computer screens, carrying heavy grocery bags, etc.) in a civilized manner: over Tea!
We will present three ways to achieve a happy back: the Alexander technique, presented by Elite Phyiscal Therapy and Pilates presented by FFC’s Lisa Stevens. The format will have some participation but will be primarily informational rather than a 'work-out'. The event will begin with tea and treats, have a brief diagnostic experience then go into the presentation. Contact FFC South Loop Fitness Director Kathy Trainor at ktrainor@ffc.com for more information.
Evey Wednesday from 9:30am-10:30am in Studio 2
