Oceanfront 1 

Flip-Flop Workshops by the Seashore

February 13-14, 2010

Wellness is a dynamic state of physical, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being that can be achieved even in the presence of a chronic illness or disability.

For a person living with MS, the road to wellness involves more than treatment of the disease. Equally important are health promotion and prevention strategies, satisfying personal relationships, a strong support network, fulfilling work and leisure activities, a meaningful place in the community, and adequate attention to one's inner self.

Thanks again to a generous grant from the ziMS Foundation, the Hampton Roads Chapter is planning another Oceanside Weekend Retreat for those with MS. The program will include time to learn, relax, exercise, and have fun. So mark your calendars, arrange for babysitters, and get on the road to wellness starting with our Flip-Flop Workshops by the Seashore!

  • Stress Management
  • Fatigue
  • Current Research
  • Cognition
  • Nutrition
  • Exercising Your Way to Wellness
