Free seminars offer valuable health tips to improve wellbeing

A GROUP of local health professionals have collaborated to offer a series of free seminars.

Chiropractor and Functional Health Practitioner Dr Heidi Mueller, Rebecca Abram  from Be Centred Yoga, and Penny Tomkinson from Step into Life Ocean Grove have designed the seminars to provide valuable health tips on simple changes that can be made to improve health and wellbeing.

They will discuss some of the challenges commonly encountered by clients, and how to overcome them.

The World Health Organisation identified that “musculoskeletal conditions are the second largest contributor to disability worldwide, with low back pain being the single leading cause of disability globally.”

Persistent musculoskeletal pain conditions are commonly linked with depression, as they can limit mobility, earning capacity, quality of life and social involvement.

As the loss of musculoskeletal function is so common in our community, it follows that the best investment in our health should be on keeping our body functioning well, our muscles and joints strong and flexible and reducing our stress levels to ensure a healthy nervous system.

The health professionals want to help locals find their balance of physical activity, mental clarity and maintain a healthy nervous system, so that when life is challenging they are the strongest they can be.

Join them for some winter inspiration at the Ocean Grove Community Hub (previously Ocean Grove Neighbourhood Centre), 1 John Dory Drive, Ocean Grove on Tuesday, June 26 at 7.30pm to 8.30pm.

More sessions are booked for July 31 and September 4.
