DescriptionWe all know that working in dentistry is challenging, both physically and mentally. The challenges have increased substantially since the Covid epidemic struck. Now, more than ever we need to take good care of ourselves. This online webinar, run by a dual qualified dentist and osteopath, takes a truly holistic approach to the physical, mental and technical challenges of our work, and offers a range of helpful ideas, including practical exercises that may be done at work and at home. This session will provide a framework for your own personal care plan that can be implemented immediately. Gerry will be discussing posture and positioning, seats and sitting, exercises (what we should and shouldn't do), and ideas to combat stress and tension.
