Relaxation technique presented at WOW forum in Sequim on Wednesday

SEQUIM — A relaxation technique that practitioners say helps with headaches, sport injuries, digestive problems, neck pain, stress, back issues and tension will be presented at a free WOW! Working on Wellness forum at 2:30 p.m. this Wednesday.

Kathi Gunn, an advanced registered nurse practitioner, and Stacy Hopkins, a licensed massage practitioner, will present “Bowenwork: Relieve, Restore, Renew & Relax” at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave.

Bowenwork is a gentle, soft-tissue relaxation technique that soothes the nervous system, resets dysfunctional muscle tension patterns and supports the body in facilitating healing, practitioners say.

Presenters will demonstrate the technique on some learners at the forum.

WOW! Working on Wellness is a health education program of the Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic, Sequim’s free clinic at 777 N. Fifth Ave., Suite 109, which provides basic urgent care and chronic health care services to uninsured community members.

The basic urgent care clinic is open to patients Monday and Thursday evenings beginning at 5 p.m.

Those interested in supporting the clinic can call 360-582-0218.
