Preventative Care
Preventing musculoskeletal disorders and repetitive strain injuries
Complimentary Pre-Assessment — find out how we can help.
Book Free AssessmentPreventative care involves measures you can take to avoid developing musculoskeletal disorders or repetitive strain injuries. At Pro Health Clinic, we help you understand your body and develop habits that keep you moving well for the long term.
Key recommendations include warming up and stretching before repetitive activities, taking breaks every 20-30 minutes during prolonged postures, and recognising early signs of inflammation before they become chronic issues.
Proper posture is essential — keeping an erect yet relaxed spine, minimising twisting and bending, and positioning your arms with elbows bent at approximately 100 degrees during desk work. We advise moving every hour to combat muscle fatigue and promote circulation.
Maintaining a Preventative Posture
For seated work, feet should rest flat on the floor in a properly adjusted chair. Keep your wrists within a safe zone of 15 degrees in all directions. Avoid static positions for extended periods.
Our team provides expert guidance on ergonomics and occupational health to help you prevent injuries before they occur.
