WHO SHOULD ATTEND

If you're like most people, you spend a good portion of your waking hours sitting at a desk or working with a computer. This time can become painful - and even unbearable - if you don't take steps to properly set up your workstation to work with your body and not against it. Therefore this course is for you.
