Upper and Lower Body Posture and Hand Ergonomics for Makers workshop:
Aches and pains while knitting? Feeling sore after all your crafting time? Having difficulty holding your yarn and needles pain-free but not sure what to do? Come join us for a class on knitting and ergonomics with Andrea Lui, PT, DPT. Andrea is an orthopedic physical therapist, and avid knitter/crocheter/spinner herself. The class will begin with an overview on correct and optimal ergonomics for crafting, and common posture pitfalls to avoid. We will also review simple stretches and exercises to keep your muscles and joints healthy and happy. This class will cover the entire body, and you will leave with a deeper understanding of your body and improved awareness of how to decrease aches and pains. Bring a WIP to work on, as there will be ample time to knit/crochet with real-time individual corrections and suggestions from Andrea.
