This session will focus on strategies you can use to live positively with back pain. It will think about practical changes you can make to everyday activities which can help reduce the impact of back pain on your life, including pacing your daily routine, posture/ergonomics, good movement patterns, stretches/exercises, and psychological strategies. As well as thinking about how you can successfully carry out regular everyday activities, we will also consider the particular challenges of managing back pain in ministry. The session will include a short taster of Pilates with a qualified Pilates trainer, so please come wearing clothes suitable for exercise.
The session will be run by Revd Cara Lovell (Director of Ministry, Kensington Area), who worked in the NHS for many years with people with back pain. The Pilates Taster will be led by Fr Brian Ralph (Vicar, St Barnabas Bethnal Green), who is a qualified Pilates Trainer.
Numbers are kept deliberately low, so we will run a waiting list if necessary. If you would like to attend a future session but are unable to make it this time around, please also send us an email, and we will contact you when other dates are available.
