As we age, recovery is more difficult and stiffness increases. In the current environment of limited excursions, we have become even more sedentary. Exercise classes can help but can't address root causes of joint pain and mobility. In this workshop, you will be given the tools to create your own daily routine to release and strengthen the muscles around our most common cranky joints - shoulders, neck, knees, hips. Identify what behaviors that contribute to joint pain and how to change them, from creating frequent breaks to avoid too much sitting, to simple ideas for setting up your viewing or work space. Presented by Sharon Bourke, CMES, Executive Director, Life Energy Foundation. Please call 240-314-8800 to register for this event.
