Description
The signs of an injury are there long before the symptoms begin. Growing evidence is correlating the increased risk of injury to poor postures and limited movement patterns. While most safety and ergonomic interventions focus on limiting the exposures of excessive movements and awkward postures it is critical to acknowledge and improve he necessity of proper human movement and functional capabilities of your employees. In this presentation we will explore the complexities of human movement and how you and your employees most likely have underlying movement limitations that strongly contribute to the increased risk of pain, injury and extended recovery periods. We will discuss a proven corrective approach that shows rapid improvements in pain, discomfort and performance.
