Save Your Hands!® Workshops
Our workshops provide hands-on, practical techniques and tips to help manual healthcare students and professionals reduce fatigue and discomfort at school and work, prevent musculoskeletal injury, and extend their careers. Attendees learn to reduce the physical demands of their work on their own bodies while still providing a thorough hands-on treatment to their clients.
Combining lecture and discussion with plenty of hands-on practice, the workshops are taught in an informal style that encourages active participation. Attendees come away from the workshop with an excellent overview of ergonomics and injury prevention principles, and a self-care action plan including changes they will make to their practice based on what they have learned.
A schedule of workshops in different parts of the U.S. will be posted soon on this web site. Continuing education credits will be available for these workshops. You can earn additional income by teaching Save Your Hands! Workshops as a Certified Injury Prevention Instructor (CIPI) - learn more here.
The co-authors of Save Your Hands! 2nd Edition and their associates also provide training sessions for schools, spas, practices, association chapters or healthcare facilities, for in-service trainings, continuing education programs, annual meetings/conferences, and more. Each training session is customized for the type of manual therapist, the nature of the facility and any specific circumstances you would like us to address.
