Most dysfunctions are caused by what doesn't happen at home, rather than what does happen at work - ie, people don't have a regular and systematic strength and flexibility training program. They have weak and tight muscles. The fact that a dysfunction manifests itself, is in most cases not the fault of the employer.

Letting people know the likely cause of their dysfunction is a Miller Health specialty.

For a start it’s easy to determine whether people are strong and flexible. That then gives basic clues as to whether they have been training or not.

Secondly, by running them through a few simple stretching positions and with a bit of probing quickly determine what the cause of the problem is.

Another thing we can do is to supply each of your staff with a copy of the ebook, How to Fix Up a Crook Back.

Supplying it electronically makes it dirt cheap. It includes the exercises people need to do to keep themselves in good shape.

Because it is enveloped in an exe file, your gateway may presume it to have a virus attached to it and block it out. To the best of my knowledge it doesn't contain a virus and is safe to open.
