Industrial Ergonomics
How would your life at home and at work be affected if every movement caused you pain and discomfort? What if the pain was so bad that you couldn’t work at all? Now, imagine going to your doctor to see if there is a way to heal. She tells you that the only way she can help is to prescribe expensive painkillers and time-consuming physical therapy. And then she tells you that your situation was completely preventable. How much would you want to be able to go back in time to give yourself advice about what to do differently? This training is going to provide you with valuable information and techniques you can use to avoid the kinds of painful injuries that can occur due to work in industrial settings.
