"Living" with back pain or learning to avoid it ?

A HALF-DAY WORSHOP IN "ACTIVE SPINAL MANAGEMENT"
WITH: Deanne Isler, Physiotherapist.
Saturday 26th October 2002, 14.00 - 17.30
Val Vital, Divonne-les-Bains

Learn how to PREVENT or RELIEVE backpain
at this unique workshop

Although, in some cases only a medical intervention can solve the problem, back pain may often be avoided thanks to POSTURAL PROPHYLAXIS.

Whether in sports, leisure activities, at home or in the office, all too often we adopt postural attitudes which are in total conflict with spinal well being. Our spine was not "constructed" for bi-peds with everyday compression in the standing and sitting position nor for the lifting or carrying of weights.
