SEQUIM — Britton Moss will present a free WOW! Working on Wellness forum, “Aging Gracefully,” on Wednesday, June 10.
The free lecture will be at 2:30 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave.
“Everyone knows that it gets harder to stay healthy as one gets older,” said Pennie Robinson, wellness program coordinator for the Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic.
“What is not such public knowledge is that there are ways to reduce the effects of some common musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions that people face as they age,” she added.
Moss will present information about body mechanics that can help minimize injury through the use of good posture and movement habits as well as strategic exercise.
Moss, a physical therapist at Sequim Physical Therapy Center, is a graduate of the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center’s Master of Physical Therapy program.
He is certified by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties as a specialist in orthopedic therapy and also is certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a strength and conditioning specialist.
