Create Expectations for Healthy Posture and Movement
A physical lifestyle, including a physical job, should be healthy for your body. A sedentary job that is regularly interrupted with movement can keep your body healthy and resilient.
Unfortunately, proper positioning and movement skills are not taught, trained, or coached in most workplaces. As a result, high-risk habits can go unrecognized and uncorrected, leading to unnecessary discomfort, pain and eventually - injury. Our MoveSafe Program® provides your organization with the knowledge, skills, and leadership training necessary to improve movement safety. The goal is to reduce preventable soft tissue injuries through a shift in your safety culture towards healthy posture and movement habits. That's where the MoveSafe Program® can help.
What is the MoveSafe® Program?
The MoveSafe Program® provides your organization with the knowledge, skills, and leadership training necessary to improve movement safety. We help your team reduce preventable soft tissue injuries through a shift in your safety culture towards healthy posture and movement habits To address the three main soft tissue injury risk categories, MoveSafe® recommends implementing several prevention activities. David explains the main elements of the MoveSafe program below.
To address soft tissue injuries, you need to create expectations for healthy posture and movement habits. Traditional ergonomics programs do not emphasize the importance of human behaviour. The MoveSafe Program® addresses posture and movement habits so your employees can become more resilient with their work tasks.
To get the best impact from our training, you will need to engage Senior Leadership and prepare your workforce for the change in expectations. To ensure durable culture change, you will need to support the champions of the program as well as build the key healthy posture and movement habits into operational systems.
If your organization invests the time, effort and resources into both the implementation and sustainment of the MoveSafe Program®, you will create a workplace culture that supports employees in using healthy posture and movement to improve their quality of life
