90’s Iconic Dance Groups Reunite for Neuropathy Awareness

Post-event release material

Manila, Philippines --Dancing is one of the greatest expressions of the joy of living. Yet, this burst of joyful energy can easily stop when you experience nagging discomforts such as numbness, tingling sensations and body pain.

Pain in the hand, arms and legs caused by nerve damage is called Neuropathy, which can leave you feeling numb, making it difficult for you to function properly. Neuropathy afflicts many Filipinos as early as their mid-20’s, but this condition is often misdiagnosed so they do not receive the proper treatment.

In one graceful move, Neurobion® reunites iconic dance groups Universal Motion Dancers, Sex Bomb Dancers and The Maneouvers to launch the Neuropathy Awareness Movement at the Trinoma Atrium. The reunion concert will feature dance icons such as Wowie de Guzman and Jopay Paguia to lead the event and perform their greatest hits. Known for their superb moves and demanding routines, the dancers know too well the importance of being able to move freely without the threat of pain.

The symptoms of Neuropathy include pangangawit, pamamanhid and tusok-tusok in the hands, arms and legs. The discomfort is often felt in the morning, making it hard to even get out of bed. Such body discomforts can hinder movement, making you feel helpless, out of control and unable to enjoy life.

It is clinically proven that Neurobion® balanced formulation of nerve nourishing vitamins acts at the root of these problems
(Tong HI, Influence of neurotropic vitamins on the nerve conduction velocity. Ann Add Med Singapore, 1980 Jan; 9(1) 65-70). Each tablet of Neurobion® can help maintain healthy nerves, promote efficient nerve function, and reduce pain in the hands, arms and legs caused by Neuropathy.
With the incidence of Neuropathy increasing among Filipinos, the Neuropathy Awareness Movement, spearheaded by Neurobion®, aims to raise awareness on the symptoms and effects of nerve damage. Pangangawit, pamamanhid and tusok-tusok may make it difficult to move, but now you can take action. With clinically proven Neurobion®, you can help prevent these symptoms so you can move freely, perform at your best, and feel the joy of living again.
