New Video Tutorials!

It is a pretty much a common fact that prolonged sitting at a desk looking at a computer for hours a day can cause a number of body problems –lower back pain, neck and shoulder aches, eye strain, and hand and finger distress to name a few conditions. When employees and employers ignore these conditions, it can cost money in the form of worker’s comp claims, medical expenses and time missed from work.

Iris Sokol, President of Fitness Works at Work has spent her career teaching employees how to take care of themselves while sitting at a desk all day working. She also has advised employers on how to equip workstations with ergonomically comfortable equipment.  Iris presents to many groups on workstation comfort and as she finishes her stretch session at the end of each presentation, HR people and other attendees come up to her and ask her “Is there any way we can have your stretches on video so that we can share them with our off-site employees and anyone else who can’t make it to these sessions.”

Now they can. We have just finished taping Iris presenting “Stretch Breaks at your Desk” a 13 minute video tutorial that can be uploaded onto any computer and leads the viewer through a series of stretches that bring relief to the body areas affected by prolong sitting. Take a look at this promotional video for an example of “Stretch Breaks at Your Desk” and how you can order the video for your employees.
