Many people suffer from sprains and strains, which can lead to scar tissue, arthritis, and disability. This safety training video features Dr. Richard Bunch, a physical therapist and ergonomics specialist, who presents a comprehensive overview of how sprains and strains happen and what can be done to prevent or relieve them. Dr. Bunch explains the importance of muscle preparation before physical activity and introduces his on-the-job stretching program called WUPR, which stands for Warm Up and Posture Relief. This course also illustrates how ergonomics, which includes the use of back supports, cushioned floor mats, computer monitors elevated to eye level, and many other practices, helps reduce injuries.
