HEALTHY PEOPLE - HEALTHY WORKPLACE
|
Join Canberra physical
educator, John Miller for this interactive
2 hour Health, Fitness and Wellbeing seminar.
The seminar is for people who want to keep themselves in good
shape, and in particular protect themselves from musculo-skeletal dysfunction.
By attending this seminar you'll learn
|
 |
|
• |
about the
epidemic of poor health in our community and how this is
affecting our workplaces. |
|
|
|
|
• |
about the
common body system dysfunctions and what you can do to
either avoid them or overcome them. |
|
|
|
|
• |
how of all the
dysfunctions that people report in the workplace,
musculo-skeletal dysfunction usually rates the highest. |
With particular reference to musculo-skeletal dysfunction you'll learn
|
• |
what are the
main causes of back, neck, shoulder and arm dysfunction |
|
■ |
|
|
• |
how to make the
distinction between an injury and a dysfunction |
|
|
|
|
• |
the two main
principles underscoring successful musculo-skeletal rehab |
|
|
|
|
• |
how to measure
the risk of getting a crook back, stiff neck, sore shoulders
and painful arms |
|
|
|
|
• |
how to protect and/or rehabilitate
yourself from back and neck dysfunction |
|
|
|
|
• |
how to protect yourself with a good
ergonomic set-up at work and at home -
ie, how to sit up straight |
|
|
|
|
• |
that taking pain-killing and
anti-inflammatory tablets which mask the symptoms of dysfunction are
poor substitutes for the exercises
you need to do to get yourself back into alignment |
During the seminar I'll take you through a risk
assessment that involves measuring your strength and flexibility. The
best way to protect yourself from back, neck and shoulder pain is to keep
yourself strong and flexible.
MOST IMPORTANTLY,
I'll teach you
some of the key exercises
you need to do to get yourself back in better alignment. Do that and you'll feel better.
You'll be glad you came.
You'll receive an interactive work book.
WHAT TO BRING
Bring your reading glasses and a pen.
WHAT TO WEAR
Wear slacks.
(Because the program includes an exercise component you'll find it more
comfortable to wear slacks.)
I look forward to seeing you.
John Miller
