Chiropractor, Dr Craig Zavitz, and his wife Robin have being visiting Provo Primary for the past 5 years, each time with Dr. Craig sharing his knowledge of the human skeleton – in particular, the spine, neck and nervous system. The Year 4 class has just begun their topic of ‘Moving and Growing’, and Dr Craig’s visit was great way to introduce the topic and inspire the children to want to find out more.
During the session, Dr. Craig shared how chiropractors use their knowledge of the skeletal and nervous systems to help heal injuries and soreness caused by blockages to the delicate spinal cord. Volunteers took part in role-playing injury scenarios, with Dr. Craig demonstrating the treatment he would do.
An exciting game helped the children to understand how messages travel from the brain to every part of our bodies and how misalignment in the spine can block the sending and receiving of messages up and down the spinal cord.
Thank you, Dr. Craig, for taking the time to visit. We know that you have a special interest in education and helping children to be aware of ways to prevent back injuries and optimize health. Provo Primary is one of the many schools you visit in the Turks and Caicos and we are all fortunate that you do this.
We hope to see you again next year…
