Scott Hunt demonstrated and answered questions about the Rossiter Technique.
We are always interested in the modalities of alternative Health.....this one seems to have a lot of potential for relieveing pain by stretching the fascia of the body. The "Coach" steps on the "Person in Charge" and directs them to simultaneously participate in a specific stretch.
We all learned a lot!
This event was Free, however donations were taken for the Family Crisis Center!
