  “Physiotherapist VS Chiropractor”

  Do you know the difference? There are differences & similarities between seeing a Physiotherapist or a Chiropractor. This speaker series will aid you in making the proper choices.

  “ Seniors & Physical Activity”

  There are health benefits to being active and strengthening your “CORE”.  Proper physical activity will aid in your health status and ease the stress in the medical areas.

• Seniors Keeping Active - Programs and Volunteers (Tuesday, November 22, 2022)

  Date: Tuesday, November 22, 2022
  Time: 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
  Location: Township of Tiny Community Centre (91 Concession 8 East)  

  Physical activity is essential to Healthy Aging.  This workshop will show why activity can help prevent or delay many of the health problems that seem to come with age.  It also helps muscles grow stronger so you can keep doing your day-to-day activities without becoming dependent on others.  Keep in mind, that some physical activity is better than none at all.  We also hope to show how volunteerism helps keep Seniors both socially and physically active.
