About Massage:

Massage Therapy is a hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body including muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and connective tissue. Among the oldest of all treatment forms used by man, Massage Therapy has been proven effective for a wide variety of musculoskeletal disorders including back pain, headaches, arthritis and many others.

With over 3000 hours of training, B.C.’s Registered Massage Therapists are among the most educated and highly trained in the world. To learn more see:  Massage Therapists Association of BC  -  www.massagetherapy.bc.ca

About Acupuncture:

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles into the skin to gently stimulate specific anatomic points in the body for therapeutic purposes.  Acupuncture can release pain-relieving endorphins and stimulate circulation and can be an effective treatment for chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis, headaches, gynecological disorders and much more.

Acupuncture is a vital component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which has been practiced in China for thousands of years. In BC, Acupuncture is a regulated Healthcare Profession under the Health Professions Act. To learn more see:

COMPUTING SAFELY: A SOMATIC PROGRAM

This workshop examines computer stress - what it is, how it originates and what steps can be taken to help prevent it, including proper workstation set-up, neutral postures and movement breaks and exercises for strain reduction. Computer stress results in significant strain that can cause or contribute to injury and loss of productivity. Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), Cumulative Trauma Disorder (CSD), and Repetitive Motion Injury (RMI) are frequently used to describe Musculoskeletal Injuries (MSIs) related to computer use.

SPECIAL EVENTS
