March Stroke/TBI Support Group

March Serenity, Not Madness Was The Theme

What a wonderful support meeting today! It is always a good thing when we have the opportunity to walk away and feel refreshed, encouraged, and armed with applicable/functional knowledge.

Our guest speaker, Gia Giles, owner of CrossFit Training and Massage in Altamonte Springs, talked with us about STRESS. We learned about what it can do to the body, our health, and our mind. Gia showed us functional stretching exercises that will improve health and wellness as we continue to care for ourselves and others after a TBI or Stroke has occurred.


If you are looking for a comfortable place to share, grow, and learn, please join us at our next Northwest Orlando Stroke/TBI Support Group. Meetings are held, 2nd Tuesday of the Month, 11a-1p, in the community room of Northwest Community Church, 5495 Clarcona Ocoee Rd, Orlando, FL 32810.
