iMoveFreely fills a gap in Occupational Health Programmes
Why do we have so many problems?
The way we work has changed in the last few generations. We have moved from a dynamic working environment where we were very active to one that is far more static. This is where our physical problems started and one we need to address if we have any chance of managing our ability to cope with the ever changing demands of our working environment. So what has this caused?
Our bodies were designed to be hunter/gatherers.
Our very physical make-up enables us to hunt, escape, harvest and gather by performing an almost unlimited number of movements like walking, running, throwing, bending, twisting and turning. As the technological revolution has enveloped our lives, and in particular our workplaces, these tasks are no longer necessary and our bodies have begun the process of de-conditioning. Where once our joints were mobilised daily, they are now bound down by sitting statically, often with a poor posture at a desk. And where we once stood, moved and walked for much of our day, we now sit; a task we were not designed to do – at least not in a chair.
So what should we do?
We need to allow our bodies to adapt better; we need to prepare our bodies for the tasks that they are about to perform and return them to their natural state, the way nature intended.
iMoveFreely ‘at work’ does this for you. Simply follow the screens (or tests) and it will highlight the main problems that your body has had while adapting to your life. It will then show you some simple and timely exercises that you can perform regularly to help your body adapt and cope better. Come back to the programme weekly to re-check how you are progressing and see how you can combat the effects of 21st century living, and importantly help with those niggling pains and start to move freely again.
See how you too can move freely today and use the code BMOT.
