 Total Balance Limited was established by Jackie Farmer, Holistic Therapist, Bowen Practitioner, Oriental Body Balance Practitioner and Holistic Therapist and qualified workplace assessor, who provides remedial therapies to clients suffering from work related discomfort and injuries. Some of the organisations Jackie has worked with include: Warrington Borough Council, Ikea, Air Miles and the Environment Agency where she has offered treatments to employees at their workplace. Over 70% of her clients suffer from musculo-skeletal problems resulting from poor posture whilst using Display Screen Equipment. The resulting injuries and discomfort could have been significantly reduced or avoided by following the information and stretches on the Posture Monitor. It was clear therefore, that these individuals needed, in addition to their initial training, a method of being constantly reminded of the importance of good workplace posture and regular stretching to relieve muscle tension and fatigue. And so the Posture Monitor was developed. The Posture Monitor can benefit: Businesses: HSC targets which must be adhered to by 2010 require a 20% reduction in work related ill health caused by musculo-skeletal disorders and a 30% reduction in working days lost due to musculo-skeletal disorders. How does this affect your business? Schools: teach children about good posture and ergonomics from an early age and help prevent future back pain and other musculo-skeletal problems. Encourage them to sit correctly at this vital time when their bones are still forming and set good habits for life. Employees and the Self-employed: Correct posture and workstation set-up will help reduce muscle fatigue and injury. Trainers: Use the Posture Monitor as part of your in-house training and hand one to each member of staff as a constant reminder of good practice. Ensure that you are doing all that you can to prevent future problems. |
