Banish back pain
April 1st 2008 Although back pain is one of
the leading causes of sickness
absence there are surprisingly
few preventative measures
taken by employers to reduce
its incidence.
Provider of onsite
physiotherapy services to
businesses, Fitback
specialises in low back
exercise workshops. Its
FitBack For Life programme
has been designed to
condition and strengthen the
lower back and reduce the
incidence of back pain.
The one hour workshop,
delivered onsite by
experienced Chartered
Physiotherapists consists of a
short presentation on lower
back pain followed by proven,
effective exercises focusing
on the use of a gym ball to
condition employees` backs.
FitBack For Life is effective
for pre-existing lower back
problems, niggling pain and
stiffness and for those at risk
of back pain involved in
manual handling or prolonged
seated postures. It also helps
to prevent back pain.
Attendees receive a gym
ball and FitBack exercise cards
to maintain the programme at
home or in the gym. |
