Description

The Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, Adaptive Adventures, and Synergy are excited to have Sofia Anastasopoulos, a physical therapist at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab and climber extraordinaire, give a presentation and hands-on demonstration on October 29. This date was intentionally chosen to be a 5thMonday of the month so that volunteers from both the city and suburban climbing locations can come together to gain knowledge and develop skills that will enhance your expertise as a volunteer.

 

Presentation topics will include:

· Review and practice the principles of transfers, how to be mindful of body mechanics and appropriately set up the environment.

· Review muscle activation during different climbing positions in able-bodied individuals and how that may differ for individuals with neurologic conditions.

 

There is no cost for you to attend. This presentation will take place from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM at Lakeshore Sport & Fitness.
