We would like to invite you to the opening of our new Sport Rehabilitation facility on Thursday 16th December 2010.  Come and have a chat about your injuries or training concerns, your training goals, or even how your work influences your posture.

We’ll be open from 8am to 8pm and you’re welcome to come in at any point during the day.

We’ll also be holding two classes on how to improve your posture.  Poor posture can lead to ongoing pain and unfortunately people who work in offices are particularly susceptible due to the amount of time spent sitting at a desk.  In this class you will learn how your work can impact your posture, and some exercises and stretches to improve it.
