Save Your Knees and Back!
Planting the Seeds for Moving and Feeling Better
Do you love gardening, or want to start gardening, but you’re worried about hurting your knees and back?
Join Patrick Hogan, a Restorative Exercise Specialist and Natural Movement coach, in a workshop designed to introduce how the activities you love can also be what keep your body healthy and strong just by adopting some simple habits.
We’ll talk about the types of exercise that gardening has to offer our bodies.
We’ll address the common habits that lead to knee and back pain.
We’ll practice the skills that help us efficiently and safely do the things that gardening requires (such as lifting, carrying, kneeling, bending)
All this is intended to give you the experience of moving more freely with fewer aches and pains while ensuring better longevity in the body so that you can more fully enjoy the activities you love - including “playing in the dirt.”
