“Rescue And Relief For Computer Users” 

Featured At Second Friday Book Reading 

Oxford, Ohio – January 23, 2012- Local resident, 3-time award winning author, licensed Medical Massage Therapist, and self-care expert Gini Maddocks, will present excerpts from her book, “Rescue and Relief for Computer Users,” at the Oxford Community Arts Center’s Second Friday event on February 10, 2012, at 7 pm. Similar to Maddocks’ blog, the reading will highlight ways to replace dysfunctional thoughts and habits with fresh perspective and insight. The reading will be followed by a brief discussion and book signing. Gini Maddocks will be available prior to and after the reading to sign books and answer questions.

This reading will also serve as an introduction to a 4-part workshop on “R&R: Rescue and Relief for Computer Users and those at Risk of Repetitive Motion Injury,” which according to the author “describes anyone remaining in one position too long or using the same muscles repeatedly—basically, all of us!” The workshops, tentatively scheduled for February through April at the Arts Center, will target the holistic interplay between posture and stress, offering quick and simple remedies to issues that may be damaging your lifestyle. “When you know what to do, and how to do it,” says Maddocks, “life becomes more enjoyable and worthwhile.”

The Second Friday Book reading will be the second in a new program OCAC has initiated to highlight local and regional authors’ books in conjunction with their Second Friday events. The OCAC is committed to introducing published books from different genres and authors from the Oxford Region. The books can be from any genre and for any age group. The OCAC strives to showcase a diversity of books and authors for the program. The books do not have to be published in 2012 but should be reasonably ‘newly’ published or pertain to a relevant or timely topic. Authors interested in participating in the monthly book reading presentations or further information about the Rescue and Relief workshops contact the Arts Center at (513)524-8506 or nfo@oxarts.org.
