Come and learn tips for the whole family to stay well during this transitional time of year. From the perspectives of an acupuncturist and a chiropractor, we'll share several ways to boost the immune system, support the body and adapt to the new school year mentally, emotionally and physically.

Dr. Rachel Palikowski, chiropractor, will cover backpack safety and optimal sitting posture in class and at home while doing homework, as well as simple ways to boost immune systems. She'll also share a sequence of movements/exercises to do in between classes or during a break to assist a strong core and posturing. Of course, all of these techniques can be helpful for parents at work and at home as well!

Rachel Kriger, licensed pediatric and adult acupuncturist, will teach some basic meridian therapy massage to do on your kids daily to keep their immune systems strong. She will also teach some massages you can use at the first signs of a cough or cold. And, last but not least, she will open a discussion on tips for self care for parents — because a healthier parent is essential to maintaining the health of their child.

Feel free to bring kiddos of any ages along for this hands-on workshop!
