Monthly MeetingThe next members meeting will be Tuesday 28 August, 2018 at 7:00 PM Dr. Colin Johnston Presents Hiking Injury Prevention and Kilimanjaro Experience
In 2016, Calgary chiropractor, Dr. Colin Johnston summited Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. It was an amazing experience but one that did not come without trials. After his trek, he suffered from knee pain for up to a year, especially every time he walked downhill. As a result of analyzing why and how he got injured on the mountain and, determining how to prevent his knee pain, Dr. Johnston developed a presentation to inform others about hiking injury prevention. There will be photos showing his Kilimanjaro experience, where he will talk about the terrain and conditions of the hike. This will lead into why he got injured and several of the main points covered in the presentation. At the end there will be a hand out/email list for the exercises presented. As an aside, Dr. Johnson has a Facebook page which publishes some very useful information about protecting your body from excessive stress while backpacking. We like his FB matra ...It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. ... Members and Guests Please join us at: the Scarboro Community Centre 1727 14th Avenue S.W. TUESDAY. 28 August, 2018, 7:00 pm Note: the parking lot is actually in the back, behind the tennis courts (accessible from 15th Ave, before it goes uphill). See map on About Us page.
