| Train-the-Trainer |
Train-the-trainer packages are available
to provide employees of the organizations with skills to perform basic
office and/or industrial assessments. Training is 1 to 3 days in length. |
| Dynamic
Break Program |
The dynamic break program
is geared toward individuals that perform static work in which there
is little movement of the body. Typically this group includes those
performing office type work, light industrial work and laboratory
work in a sitting posture. These jobs are highly repetitive for the
hands and fingers, but involve little movement of the trunk and lower
limbs. While the effectiveness of stretching programs is controversial,
the dynamic break program encourages whole body motion to increase
circulation so that nutrients important in tissue repair can be taken
more readily to the muscles and other tissues of the body. |
