![]() | The Problems with Traditional Back Safety |
![]() ![]() | FUNCTIONAL BACK SAFETY For lifting injuries we found the following problems: • Traditional Back Safety provides no leverage for pushing or pulling heavy objects • Traditional Back Safety forces the spine to curve instead of remaining straight • Traditional Back Safety may force the muscles of your spine to work 4x as hard • Most companies store objects in shelves or in work areas not in the middle of the floor. For seated injuries we found the following problems: • Standard desk height was too low causing a forward head posture • Increased right Rotator Cuff tendonitis from using a mouse that was improperly positioned • Sitting with your feet evenly spaced apart also encourages the spine to curve • Improper seat adjustment has contributed neck and shoulder pain as well as a higher incidence of headaches resulting from a forward head posture Contact K2-Healthcare Consulting at 704 806-9826 |
