Health and Wellness Day - Norwich

We are delighted to announce our third Health and Wellness Day and we would like to invite you to join us at the Sportspark in Norwich.

The Health and Wellness Day is a one day seminar, facilitated by Rebekah Knight, one of our members who is a physiotherapist affected by CMT herself. She will be introducing a full day event, packed with useful lectures on a variety of topics and practical exercise sessions.

The idea is to give you the tools and knowledge to be able to take control and manage your CMT more successfully. It is becoming apparent that exercise and fitness – at whatever level you can manage – are key to keeping mobile for the longer term. We will also be joined by Mrs Rachael Hutchinson, an orthopaedic surgeon from the Norwich and Norfokl Hospital and a colleague, who have started a number of disability fitness classes in Norwich, and they will be giving a taster session as well. The final speaker, Donna DeWick, has CMT herself, but also takes part in para-triathlons and all sorts of events, proving that, with some determination, it really can be done, despite CMT! It may be that Donna’s talk may be just a video, but believe me, she’s worth hearing, whether it’s in person or not!

The exercises will cover a whole range of problems – and don’t worry, if you can’t manage them, Rebekah will be there to help you do them in the best way for you.

You are welcome to bring your partner/spouse to the event, but please – no children! We have no facilities for a crèche at this event, and the exercise sessions and content of the day is designed for adults only.

The cost includes refreshments, a finger buffet lunch and a complimentary pack of information to take away with you. Lunch will be a selection of sandwiches and rolls, sausage rolls, eggs, pork pies etc, provided by Sportspark.

Numbers are strictly limited to 40 – including partners/helpers – so please do book quickly. In any case, the deadline for booking is 4th September 2017

If you would like any further information, don’t hesitate to contact me on karen@cmt.org.uk or email Rebekah on rebekah@cmt.org.uk.
