You hear about injuries and accidents every day. But are they truly accidents? Which ones could be prevented?
1. Burns
2. Falls
3. Diving accidents (esp. diving into shallow water)
4. Alcohol-related accidents
5. Unsafe driving
6. Rotator cuff tears
7. Back strains
Safety and injury prevention is your individual responsibility. If you truly want to live with minimal physical pain, you must practice safety at all times. This is true whether you are at home, at work, in the car or at the mall. Do not expect your employer to make your work environment or work station safe. Your manager will not be the one experiencing your pain if you get hurt at work. Do whatever it takes to keep yourself safe from these types of injuries. I do not want you to end up being my next P.T. patient, and trust me--you do not want that either.
This blog gives practical tips on how to avoid pain! To do so, you must start to think like a PT (Physical Therapist). I talk about health, wellness, pain, injuries, weight loss, healthy eating, postures, body mechanics, and much more! Pain Talks is my consulting business since 2018, in which I help companies with loss prevention and injury prevention; to find out more, please check out my website, PainTalks.org.
