How To Actively Manage Stress, Pain & Tension from Home

Registered Physiotherapist and Certified Yoga Instructor, Heather Watson discusses how working from home can contribute to stress, pain and tension and how to effectively deal with it.

 

There is a high correlation between pain, stress and anxiety; and our mental state has a direct effect on our physical state.

 

In this webinar, Heather will help you understand your body’s stress response to the fear and uncertainty of our current world.

 

She will also discuss:
 

  • The effect that stress and lack of movement can have on our bodies

  • Three quick and simple exercises that you can perform at home to release stress and tension

  • The benefits of virtual physiotherapy sessions - who can benefit, how they are completed and the value of accessing care.
