Pilates for Carers
More so than any other profession, nurses and care workers are at serious risk of sustaining career-ending and life-altering injuries while performing their everyday work-related tasks.
It’s a well known fact within the profession that many nurses and health carers are forced to end their caring profession early against their will due to serious neck, shoulder or back pain arising out of work-induced musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
The types of shoulder, neck and back injuries that are regularly encountered in the caring professions are:
-
lower back strain;
-
spinal cord damage;
-
bulging, herniated or slipped discs;
-
damaged vertebrae;
-
damaged muscles, ligaments, and tendons;
-
rotator cuff injuries; and
-
trapped or pinched nerves
