Drs. Chiappino and Cesiro Hold Fourth Therapeutic Iyengar Yoga Workshop on Lower Extremity Pain Management
April 20, 2009
(Smithtown, N.Y.) Dr. Keri Chiappino DC, DACNB has announced the fourth in her therapeutic workshop series will be held Saturday, May 9. The class will be cohosted by Dr. Joanne Cesiro, physical therapist and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) and will focus specifically on hip, knee, ankle and foot conditions. The workshop is divided into two sessions: the first half runs from 1:00-4:00 pm and is for teachers and advanced students wishing to learn more about anatomy as well as the contraindications and precautions associated with lower extremity conditions. The second half follows from 4:00-6:00 pm and is designed for those suffering with sciatica, total hip replacement, knee injuries, osteoarthritis, and plantar fasciitis.
A board-certified Chiropractic Neurologist and RYT, Dr. Chiappino specializes in holistic therapies that integrate both the body and the brain. “Many patients experience a myriad of painful conditions. Therapeutic yoga is very beneficial in improving muscle joint mobility and enabling pain relief; it is an integral part of an effective pain treatment plan. The use of props and pose modification makes the Iyengar approach accessible to students of all levels. In addition, this unique form of yoga’s precise focus on alignment allows us to prescribe poses for each participant’s specific chronic pain condition. By focusing on structural alignment, participants can manage their pain without prescription medicine.”
The workshop will be held at The Drishti Yoga Studio (formerly The Yoga Room)
in East Patchogue. Registration is limited. For more information call 631 265 1223.
