Gigi Kearney Presentation - Wednesday April 30th - 6:00-7:30p
Physical Therapist Gigi Kearney spoke about shoulder mechanics, stretching and injury prevention in the Community Room of the Darien YMCA last night.  Over 40 Piranha swimmers and parents attended.  The presentation was insightful, educational and well received.  She started the presentation with a brief look at the anatomy of the shoulder.  She spoke about shoulder stability, the benefits of yoga and core training, proper and improper stretches and the difference between ligaments and muscles.  She touched on the myths of overtraining, emphasized consistency with training and answered questions.  Thank-you Gigi for sharing your knowledge with the Piranhas.
