We meet on the second and fourth Thursday of each month in the Settlers Park Don Powis Hall at 09h30 for 10h00. Enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and chat before the meeting. Presentations are followed by a Q&A session with the presenter.
Dr Joshua Gernetzky – Preventing and relieving lower back pain
Dr Gernetzky is from the Bay Life Centre in Port Elizabeth. Many elderly people have, or will have, lower back pain. Dr Gernetzky will tell us what causes it and what we can do to prevent it.
In this presentation he will:
❖ Explain what causes back pain, and more importantly how you can prevent it.
❖ Demonstrate simple exercises that have been shown to help your back.
❖ Inform you about recent breakthroughs in the treatment of back pain.
The presentation is filled with practical information and is ideal for most group meetings. It lasts approximately 30 minutes but can be tailored to suit your specific needs. I can allow time for a question-and-answer session. Your members will receive a free back pain prevention kit (pending numbers coming) that contains useful information summarizing the important points of the workshop.
