Every season, we dedicate time and resources to enhance the overall health and wellness of our communities by offering FREE educational programs to individuals and families. This Winter, we invite you to join us and our healthcare providers in one of our many health education lectures.
Managing stress effectively involves utilizing various stress regulation techniques, including relaxation exercises, mindfulness, physical activity, healthy lifestyle choices, and strategic time management.

He will discuss the relationship between high stress and chronic health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, and share some home exercises to improve overall health. He will also introduce biofeedback therapy, a technique that helps people learn to control heart rate variability, breathing, muscle tension, and skin temperature to help manage conditions like chronic pain, high blood pressure, anxiety, Raynaud’s syndrome, and insomnia.
