MUSCULO-SKELETAL
HEALTH SURVEY REPORT
EARTH SHATTERING NEWS!
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
Contact me and I'll outline how you
can protect your staff and your workers compensation arrangements in
a cost effective and painless way.

a few moments to open up.)

'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.
