“This presentation will help those suffering with any pain. Many times people hurt because
they move poorly and have never known it,” Schwan said. “If you are an active person and want to find out if your exercise program is holding you back or simply are looking for new exercises to spice up your routine, this is the talk for you.”
Schwan graduated valedictorian from National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, then became a board certified Chiropractic Sports Physician through the American Board of Chiropractic Sports Physicians.
