SUMMARY:Free Talk: Breast Cancer Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:1 in 8 women and 1 in 1\,000 men will develop breast cancer. \nCome join Janette Cariad\, PT\, CLT-LANA at Back to Life for a free talk on how you can safely return to your best level of function after surgery for breast cancer. Learn what to do\, and what not to do. \nBreast cancer and its treatment may affect your physical functioning and energy.

Exercise may also help you manage treatment-related fatigue\, especially during radiation treatments. \nJoin our free talk to discuss your options with Back to Life Physical Therapist Janette Cariad PT. CTL-LANA. \nRSVP by emailing Classes@BackToLife.net

SUMMARY:Free Talk: Introduction to the Alexander Technique
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to eliminate back and any other musculoskeletal pain\, while moving with ease\, lightness\, and grace. You will gain awareness of your habits in posture and movement\, and learn how to shed those harmful habits. You will then use your body effortlessly\, the way it’s designed to be used – something many of us haven’t done since early childhood! \nThe Alexander Technique teaches you how to release the muscle tension and misuse that cause you pain by integrating the connection between your mind and body. The result is your body works as it should -with less effort and pain\, and a feeling of lightness. You’ll discover that you can engage in activities you previously thought were off limits while feeling younger and stronger. You will also learn how truly good posture and ideal movement is actually easier\, freer and much more comfortable than “holding” yourself upright or working to maintain a position. \nThis group class incorporates one-on-one instruction. Evelyn will go over principles of the Alexander Technique\, then lead the class in simple\, everyday activities (sitting and standing\, walking\, etc.)\, with individual “hands-on” work. After the first class\, participants will have the opportunity to address challenges they have in their interests or daily lives (playing an instrument\, driving\, working on a computer\, etc.). \nAbout Evelyn Hess\nEvelyn Hess is an AmSAT certified Alexander Technique teacher and has been teaching groups and individuals for over 13 years. Her students include accomplished equestrians\, musicians\, and singers\, as well as everyday people who want to perform better\, recover from or avoid injury\, or are in chronic pain\, especially back and neck pain. \nEmail Classes@BacktoLife.net to RSVP for this free class!
