Don’t turn your back on pain

A Work Area Assessment improves working conditions and productivity

60 to 80 percent of all adults have lower back pain at some time in their lives. After upper respiratory infections, back pain accounts for the next greatest number of workdays lost in industry every year. Nine out of 10 acute back injuries heal on their own within 8 to 12 weeks. Most of the problems we see on the fitness side of things are associated with one thing: PEOPLE SIT TOO MUCH!

The quality of your staff’s work environment has a major impact on their performance. Proper posture can make a person look and feel stronger, decrease the risk of injury, advance everyday performance, and over the course of their life, proper posture can prevent painful physical and mental strain.

According to NSW Workcover, it is the responsibility of both employers and employees to make sure the workplace is safe. It is best for both parties to be proactive rather than wait for injuries to accumulate. The PBW Work Area Assessment promotes proper posture, workplace conditioning, and body mechanics through education and corrective exercise strategies for preventative measures.

Our programs are based on the AGSHSS Pyramid of Performance. The Pyramid of Performance represents a simple exercise movement model that establishes the importance of exercise and movement progression to achieve maximum physical performance whilst minimising musculoskeletal pain and injury.
