Presentation description:

You may think back pain is usually caused by frequent, heavy lifting or manual labor tasks requiring a lot of bending, but what many people don’t realize is sitting at a desk can also contribute to back pain. Since many of us have to sit to for long periods of time, let’s talk about how to prevent back pain related to desk work and how to manage back pain if you or your employees have developed chronic pain in the back or spine region. Register for this month’s Healthy Arizona Worksites webinar and get some relief for your back.

Session participants will understand:

  • Proper posture for sitting, lifting, walking, etc.?
  • Causes for back pain and treatment options for chronic back pain and back stress
  • How to maintain a healthy back and the importance of posture, ergonomics, exercise, proper lifting and frequent movement
  • Ways to minimize back pain or injuries while at work
  • What to do when you’ve tried it all and still have back pain
