Movesmart is an innovative educational workshop and training system that teaches people about the way their body works, how and why it gets injured and how to avoid pain. Most of our aches and pains such as neck and shoulder pain, lower back pain etc. are caused or aggravated by the small things we do wrong on an everyday basis. Of course people can fall over or have a car accident which hurts, but the vast majority of the aches and pains that take us off work are due to misuse. Movesmart teaches us about how to recognise the things we do wrong and gives easy ways to change bad habits. These changes produce long term relief of our physical pain and we can even teach other people how to do things correctly. Movesmart has been used by employers such as Sanitarium and NZ Fire Service to slash the rate of injury by up to 60% amongst staff. This saves money and produces healthier, happier and more productive employees. The ‘MoveSmart' program will dramatically reduce the sprain and strain injury statistics in your work place. When your employees have an understanding that it is their habits and actions that often leads to these injuries they are able, when given better options, to choose not to use harmful movements. This is a self-ownership education model which works because it is based on individuals making choices for themselves, nobody is told what to do.
