Weeks 1, 4, 6, and 9 | M, Tu, W, Th | Heinz Fitness 1 | Ages 14+
Do you suffer with chronic pain of any kind? The instructor has combined a number of gentle modalities to develop a self-care program. Pain is reduced using somatic retraining and isometric exercises with stretching and guided relaxation, along with myotherapy which retrains your muscles to move more effectively. You will learn proven techniques that release muscle tension, increase flexibility and help relieve pain. Students should wear loose fitting clothing and be aware some time on the floor will be experienced.
