- Pain Is Your Friend!?
- Ivan Anderson of the Healing Tree Wellness Center will talk about pain and provide methods to relieve the most common complaints. All of us experience pain from time to time. Ask yourself, "When was the last time I was pain free?" The CDC reports that 1 in 4 US adults say they suffered a day-long bout of pain in the past month and 1 in 10 say the pain lasted a year or more. How can you identify the signs that pain is on the way and what can you do to live pain free? Ivan will answer these questions and also provide a Shiatsu demonstration.
