Using Proper Body Mechanics in the Garden
September 19, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Free
Gardening can be great exercise, but it can also be hard on your body and put you at risk of injury.
Our presenter, a retired physical therapist, has advice that gardeners of all ages can benefit from, including the basics of Body Mechanics, strategies for preparing our bodies with warm-up exercises, and the importance of posture and strength to prevent injuries while gardening.
These fundamentals will help our bodies stay fit and allow us to continue gardening safely and happily throughout life’s seasons.
Join the Lane County Master Gardener Association for this free seminar. No registration is necessary.
This class will be held in person at OSU Extension Service, 996 Jefferson St, Eugene, Oregon.
