CrookBack Clinic; musculo-skeletal health program

I've just finished compiling the 2009 MUSCULO-SKELETAL HEALTH SURVEY REPORT based on the results of 953 people who completed the musculo-skeletal risk factor profile over the past 12 months.

The results may shock you. Hopefully they'll galvanise you into action.

The report provides compelling evidence that YOU need to move heaven and earth to protect the musculo-skeletal health of your staff - if you're to make huge savings on your workers compensation arrangements, plus have staff who are pain free. (Musculo-skeletal dysfunction is one of the major contributors to presenteeism.)

To put things in perspective.

Those who train

Not many people are doing any strength or flexibility training, but those that do feel better.

1.	Only 17% of people had a reasonable strength training program. Their average total score on the profile was 74. The average score for current condition was 6.6.

2.	Only 10% had a half decent flexibility training program but their average total score on the profile was 75. The average score for current condition was 6.5.

3.	Only 5% of people had a half decent strength and flexibility training program and their average total score on the profile was 84. The average score for current condition was 7.3.

Those who don't train

The average total score of the 58% of people who had no strength or flexibility training program at all was a miserable 46. The average score for current condition was 5.0.

For those who don't train, can't do a situp or a pressup, can't touch their toes and are more than 20 Kg over weight the average score for current condition is 3.5.

It sticks out like the proverbial. You can close up all the musculo-skeletal research institutes and put down the glasses. Just start training.

Read what I said about the CrookBack Dilemma in July 2008. You can definitely close down the research institutes

Now read on by clicking through to the 2009 Musculo-skeletal Health Survey Report. (It's a PDF so give it a few moments to open up.)

GLOBAL BACK CARE - free ebook

Go to www.globalbackcare.com and pick up a copy of my free ebook - 'Causes of Musculo-skeletal Dysfunction'.

It's an easy-to-understand, no nonsense book that lays out the key reasons why half the population is suffering from some form of musculo-skeletal dysfunction.

In the mean time stay tuned, highly tuned and remember, very few people became stronger in a surgery.
