With our busy lifestyles, it is becoming more evident that maintaining a physical activity program is very important for good health. With increased work hours and time spent using keyboards, the incidence rate of repetitive strain injuries has risen as well. Physiotherapy can provide you with a physical conditioning program to improve your overall health and protect you from developing these injuries. This can be accomplished in numerous methods depending on your own situation. A Certified Kinesiologist can visit your worksite and perform a functional capacity evaluation or ergonomic evaluation. A Registered Physiotherapist can provide education regarding working positions, posture, stress management, and stretching. An individualized, rehabilitation exercise program includes aerobic activity such as biking or walking, a strengthening component with weights or bands, a relaxation activity such as stretching, yoga or TaiChi, and health and safety sessions to demonstrate proper body mechanics and modifications to daily functional activities.
