4-Session Spinefulness Class Offered Free at Stanford, Starting July 11th

July 7, 2016 By Parkinson's Community Help

Stanford’s Neuroscience Supportive Care Program is offering a four-session one-hour class on “Spinefulness” at no charge on four Monday mornings, 10:30-11:30am, starting on July 11th.  The class is intended for those with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological disorders — whether seen at Stanford for care or not.  Advance registration is required.

This four-session class, led by the Balance Center (of Palo Alto), will teach  body awareness and corrections that will allow relief from mechanically-based joint and back pain.  Each class builds on the preceding class so it’s best to attend all four.

Whether you are suffering in your neck, feet, or joints, a Spineful approach will guide you to replace patterns of wear and tear with habits that restore joints.  You will learn small, but critical, position shifts to apply to everyday activities.  Sit comfortably at your desk, drive in your car without pain, or stand happily in line at the grocery store.  Tap into the healing potential of gravity in any moment of the day, anywhere you are.

Dates: 
Four Mondays – July 11, July 18, July 25, August 1

Time: 
10:30am-11:30am

Location: 
Stanford Neuroscience Health Center
Wellness Room 1511 (First Floor)
213 Quarry Road, Palo Alto, CA 94304

Advance registration required:  Call TC Knowles, Stafnrod Neuroscience Supportive Care Program, 650-721-8500
