Stretch!

Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders, or WMSDs, are injuries to the muscles, tendons, nerves, and joints which occur or are aggravated on the job.

  • WMSD’s are also commonly called Sprains and Strains
  • If early signs or symptoms are ignored, they can progress into more serious problems
  • Conditions can have long-term effects on a person’s health, work, recreational options, and other aspects of life including retirement

Stretching is a vital part of any fitness routine, and an integral part of  a complete workplace ergonomics program.

  • Reduces fatigue, both mental and physical
  • Increases flexibility and joint range of motion
  • Improves balance and posture
  • Improved circulation
  • Gets your body “Game Ready” for your shift
