    Sterling Silver Club Hosts Virtual Stretching Lecture for 55+

    La Dra. Kelly Winkel, fisioterapeuta de Renown Health, dirige un evento virtual para conectar a los adultos a través de ejercicios básicos de estiramiento y estrategias de movimiento útiles que ayudarán a un envejecimiento saludable. Para ayudar a los miembros de nuestra comunidad mayores de 55 a experimentar los numerosos beneficios de los estiramientos, el Sterling Silver Club de Renown llevará a cabo la conferencia virtual gratuita de ejercicios de estiramiento “Rise and Shine” el miércoles, 15 de julio de 10 a 11 a.m. Durante el evento en directo, Kelly Winkel, doctora en fisioterapia de Renown Physical Therapy, enseñará a los asistentes los principios básicos del ejercicio a medida que envejecemos y ofrecerá una demostración de ejercicios suaves de estiramiento y estabilización que lo ayudarán a comenzar el día.
