Back Pain and Business Workshop
Speaker: Dr Jason Gould BSc, MChiro, DC

Whether at home, at work, or on the move, more and more of us are spending large parts of our day using a computer. When sitting and concentrating on the screen for so long, we may not be aware that the position we are in is, in fact, harmful to our spine. To help combat this and protect our backs, Dr Jason Gould has some advice to keep in mind when twittering, blogging, surfing or emailing!

Come along to Jason's Back Pain and Business Workshop covering a number of practical exercises to help reduce the risk of injury!

This event ideally needs people to be put into pairs so you can observe and advise the other person on their posture. So just for this event we are doing a deal on the entry price. Bring along a friend and they get in for half price, non-members entry is normally £8, this will be reduced to £4 if you come along with a friend.

The half price entry fees will all go to the clubs' dedicated charity, The Maypole Project, so you'll not only be helping yourself, you'll also be helping 100's of children with life threatening, life limiting illnesses and their families across South East London.
