George Salem, Program Director Garden City Retired Men's Club, Dr. Michael DeFeo, Joe Leto, President Garden City Retired Men's Club. On Monday, February 23rd Michael DeFeo, DPT, Director of Physical Therapy of Winthrop Physical Therapy Group addressed the Garden City Retired Men's Club. Referring to the assembled male/female attendees as "the greatest generation," Dr. DeFeo targeted his remarks to a low-key session of nutritional awareness and improved exercise habits. He stressed the importance of reducing the effects of diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis and osteoporosis through a regular gentle exercise program. Following his explanation of some simple morning and evening stretching exercises, he climbed on a table, lay on his back and proceeded to demonstrate each position of each exercise. He then made a point of explaining the proper lifting technique "plant both feet apart, bend th knees and lift with your legs, not with the arms.' And whenever you can…pull…don't lift." Dr. DeFeo patiently conducted a lively question/answer period following his very informative talk.
