Save Your Back Program #526

The Save Your Back Program is a comprehensive program for teaching back injury prevention to health care providers. It addresses the unique back problems faced by health care professionals who are regularly involved in patient handling, positioning and transferring. In addition to reducing the risk of injury, the principles taught will help insure the patient is safer and more comfortable. Good body mechanics and transfer techniques are explained, which will help the patient actively participate and gain more strength and increased activity in the process.

The program can presented as a stand-up lecture, a slide/audio cassette presentation, or a video demonstration (which is organized into three parts and runs for 40 minutes). The stand-up lecture/demonstration is flexible, allowing one to modify and customize it for their needs.
