Our History
At MoveSafe we have a proud history of being on the leading edge of workplace musculoskeletal injury prevention and management. It all started in the early 90’s when Dave set-up his practice on-site at a large 1200 employee industrial plant. He had been treating the employees from this workplace in a clinic environment in town, but it made more sense to ‘move-in’ to the industrial environment that was producing so many musculoskeletal disorders. After learning first hand the daily challenges of both the workers and the workplace, Dave started creating the following programs and interventions to address the major issues he felt were contributing to human and financial costs of these musculoskeletal disorders:
- Participatory Ergonomics Programming that strived to improve work methods for the body as well as improve productivity. This included pioneering work in office ergonomics as desktop computers were just starting to show-up on everyone’s desk and none of the desks and chairs were designed for this new computer.
- Daily warm-up exercises and movement practice that reinforced proper postural stability and biomechanics for bending, lifting, pushing and pulling,
- Early Intervention for people with signs and symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders,
- Corrective exercise prescription to address muscle and movement imbalances for people with chronic aches and pains, and
- Appropriate workplace responses for monitored and graduated return-to-duties that allowed people to stay at work while they navigated both their work and home/lifestyle-related aches and pains.
