Re: Taking the pain out of homebuilding

In Ontario, we spend over 125 million on soft tissue injury claims annually for an aging construction workforce. Try to convince crew level that stretching, diet, excercise, ergonomic conditions (better tools and position)and lastly wellness (stress prevention) are important to keep a less painful existance and maybe 1 in 100 will buy in. How many carpenters aren't complaining about rotator cuff or bad knees or elbows? Again, it's sad how few see the merits of taking some care of the vitals until they're under the blade. The previous articles of stretching made so much sense as does this. Hey why not a little hot yoga and hydrotherapy for a hard day's labour.
