A Holistic Approach to Pain

Marianne Benforado is a licensed acupuncturist with a thriving practice in the Seabright area of Santa Cruz. Come to this free class she is teaching and learn ways to invigorate and encourage your flow of Qi!

If you have chronic aches and pains (headaches, low back pain, tendinitis, achey knees, etc,) or take OTC pain meds regularly please come to this important talk and learn some easy ways that you can take control of your health.

Chinese medicine has five branches – acupuncture, herbs, movement such as Qi Gong, therapeutic massage, and nutrition – and all of them can be extremely helpful in decreasing pain. We will focus on alternative and natural treatment options:

Specific stretches and exercises to help every area of the body!
Topical linaments that often work immediately
Supplements and herbs (no side effects like OTC!)
Tools you can use at home to release fascia
a breathing exercise and guided meditation to practice

This is a FREE event as part of the Wellness Class series offered by Way of Life.
