ASSIST organises session for neck and shoulder pain

KUALA LUMPUR (Herald Malaysia): “Is there anyone present here who has pain in the shoulder or neck?” Immediately, the hands of thirty-five parishioners shot up eagerly. In response to a common problem, the newly formed ASSIST Ministry of the Parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Peel Road organised a show and tell session regarding neck and shoulder pain on Sunday November 26.

Medical and allied health professionals comprising a medical doctor, physiotherapist and a counsellor shared their knowledge and skills in English, Tamil and Cantonese. The Ministry adopted an inclusive approach to ensure that parishioners were not left out due to language barriers. In the coming year, ASSIST looks forward to enriching parish life with various year-round programmes by professionals in the fields of medicine and allied health, education, counselling and law, as well as outreach services for special groups like migrants and our Evergreen senior parishioners
