Soft Tissue Injury Prevention

Overview/Description No matter how determined you may be, having practical tools ultimately makes the difference between being safe or getting injured. Similarly, ensuring personal safety requires acquiring the right self-defense skills. Take all-too-common soft-tissue injuries—do you know anyone who hasn’t sometime experienced a strain or sprain? Employing the right methods often makes the difference between being minimally affected or greatly hampered, between feeling slightly sore or severely hurt, between experiencing slight tweaks or suffering a disabling injury. Soft-tissue injuries are also frustrating for many. Strains and sprains to the back, neck, wrist, shoulders, knees, and ankles are at the top of numerous workers' compensation cost leader boards. However, many are still stuck with these injuries, especially with an aging workforce, or have workers who perform tasks outdoors, exposed to the elements, or have thinned-down workforces where employees have to do more than when they were younger. Consequently, though many companies attempt a wide range of "cures" for these pervasive injuries, they remain stymied, apparently stuck at a soft-tissue injury plateau. Not surprisingly, because there are many contributing factors to this cumulative, straw that broke the camel’s back injuries, there are many possible ways to address these. Course Content
