Invest in Your Future Self: A Seminar on back health & Mobility
Did you know that back health is the "silent engine" of productivity and well-being? While sitting at a desk might feel like "resting," it actually places significantly more strain on certain parts of your spine than standing or walking.
The habits we form in our 30s and 40s define our mobility at 70. By prioritizing back health now, you can prevent permanent structural changes, such as kyphosis (an exaggerated rounding of the back), which become increasingly difficult to correct later in life.
Special Guest Speaker: Dr. Schiestel / Welcome and introductory words by Dr Lademann (VMS)
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Schiestel, a renowned specialist from SYSTOMED in Vienna, has graciously offered to lead an exclusive seminar for the VIC community. Dr. Schiestel is a former professional athlete and elite trauma surgeon who combines world-class orthopedic expertise with holistic pain management. He specializes in long-term mobility and the 'systemic' treatment of musculoskeletal issues.
This session will be held in English and will focus on practical strategies for long-term mobility and pain prevention.
