Genesys presents free seminar on neck pain

(GENESEE COUNTY, MI) Do you experience frequent neck pain, especially after sitting at a computer all day? Is there anything you can do yourself to relieve the pain?
Genesys Athletic Club, in partnership with Genesys Therapy Services, will conduct a free seminar on neck pain - causes and treatment - to help you find out why you have neck pain and what you can do to relieve it.

The presentation will take place Wednesday, Feb. 17, at 6:30 pm, in the Birch Room of Genesys Athletic Club, located on the Genesys Regional Medical Center-Health Park campus in Grand Blanc Township.

John Storrer, physical therapist with Genesys Therapy Services, is the program presenter. He will talk about how posture and strength are key components to a healthy neck, and how the vast majority of neck pain is caused by dysfunction in joints and muscles of the neck.

Many bad everyday habits can be the cause of neck pain, which also can lead to headaches, Storrer notes. He will discuss this in detail at the seminar and offer advice on what individuals can do to correct these issues. He also will provide participants with some exercises to practice at home that may help alleviate neck pain.

To sign up for neck pain - causes and treatment, call Genesys Athletic Club at 810-606-7300.

Genesys Therapy Services also offers three more seminars at the Genesys Athletic Club:

Back pain and pregnancy: Wednesday, March 24
Stretching 101 and its benefits: Wednesday, April 21
Consult a physical therapist: Wednesday, May 19

To sign up for any of these seminars, call Genesys Athletic Club at 810-606-7300.
