INTERRUPT EXERCISES AND HOW YOUR WORK BOOTS CAN PREVENT ANKLE INJURIES

YOUR BODY IS YOUR MOST IMPORTANT TOOL...USE IT WELL!

The one tool you are never without is your body, and how well you maintain this tool is vital. At MoveSafe, we spend a lot of time talking about how to use optimal body postures like the ‘Big 3”, however, we also know that many situations arise where you are unable to use good body mechanics. A common situation is a task that requires prolonged overhead work or an awkward ‘chicken wing’ posture with the shoulder. When you find yourself stuck in these awkward postures it becomes increasingly important to take the time to interrupt these postures and allow for tissue recovery. Click the link below for a video guiding you through three upper body interrupt exercises that will help you keep your body in working order!
