t is well known that pain is a major source of disability - costing billions of dollars in related costs. To avoid these unnecessary costs, BCL provides training to employees, including:
- what are the causes of back pain (myths and realities)
- how to avoid back pain through correct lifting, pushing, and pulling
- how to maintain neutral spinal positions (sitting, standing, and sleeping)
- tips on maintaining a health spine at work and at home
It is important to train your work force to understand the many types of pain and realize that pain does not always mean that they must stop or reduce an activity.
Pain or discomfort is a strong indicator that an individual should modify components of their work and household activities. This contradicts the old myth that back pain requires bed rest to resolve!
Our training can comprise of groups, with an opportunity for one on one consultation. Or, it may be that only one individual is having difficulty and training can be tailored to that individual.
Putting information in the hands of your employees is a major step towards avoiding injury and the associated disability costs. Regardless of the work you do, all employees can benefit from this training!
Course length can be customized based on your needs. 1-2 hours is required for preparation and material costs will be charged separately if applicable. Customized “Train the Trainer” Programs are also available.
