"Back" to basics.
Most back-related injuries can be tied to poor posture, lack of physical conditioning, stress, and other environmental factors. Many back-injury prevention strategies focus on improving these areas, plus instructing on proper posture, body mechanics, and lifting techniques. For these techniques to be practical and useful, they must be taught through demonstration and practice in a controlled environment. The benefits of a back-injury prevention program include feeling more physically fit, balanced, and in control. Training will improve performance at work and home, and can also be used to protect family members from these common, devastating injuries.
