Free Corporate In-Services and
Free Injury Assessments For Your Employees

Physically demanding work such as repeated lifting obviously places a great deal of stress on the body, especially the low back. Sitting for prolonged periods of time at a desk or computer station may not seem like physically demanding work, but the stress on the neck and low back can be just as damaging as heavy work. Even good posture is stressful if held for too long a period of time. Repetitive stress disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome, low back pain, and neck pain account for over 60% of all workers complaints, costing employers and insurance carriers nearly 80 billion annually.

For these reasons Advanced Rehabilitation Clinics, Inc. (ARC) have developed and offer In- Services to educate employees how to recognize and correct faulty postural habits and to prevent adverse stress to the wrist, neck, and low back before it affects their work performance, and your bottom line.
