Free Integrative Health Lecture Series Continues at Windham Hospital
WILLIMANTIC, CT – October 22, 2009 – The Integrative Health Steering Committee at Windham Hospital hosts “For the Health of It,” a Wednesday evening lecture series, each month. The next event, slated for October 28th at 7 pm, is entitled “Reflexology,” and will be presented by Anne Buchalski, LMT. The lecture will take place in the Hospital’s Education Center, located just off the Atrium Entrance to the Hospital.
Reflexology is the science of using gentle pressure applied to the feet, hands and ears to relieve stress and effect harmony, health and balance in the body. People attending will receive foot and hand reflexology charts and will learn a simple five-minute stress relieving hand reflexology technique to use at home.
