What makes the Fit Responder approach different from what has been done before? We understand that in nontraditional settings the traditional wellness and injury prevention models are ineffective at educating and ultimately eliciting behavior change. So we went around the problem and blindsided it. Instead of teaching wellness we focus on human performance, soft tissue pre-habilitation, postural education and restoring natural human movement in our clients. By utilizing evidence and scientifically based techniques both in the workplace and at home we gave the employees simple "tools" to manage their own body, manage their own pain and to simply feel and move better. Once the employees were given these tools an interesting, but predictable, change occurred. The employees began to feel better, they started to exercise, they made better food choices and they were more productive. Wellness occurred because we removed one of the primary barriers to self-care, we empowered the employee to be responsible for their own pain and wellness followed.
