Hands-on injury-prevention training for nurses, nursing assistants, and everyone who lifts, turns, and transfers patients. Delivered onsite at your facility, built around how your staff actually work.
Book an Onsite WorkshopWhy we exist
Most facilities have already done the responsible things. They bought the lifts. They wrote the safe-patient-handling policy. But almost nobody trains the body actually doing the work, and a slideshow once a year has never changed how anyone moves on the floor. That's the gap we fill: real hands-on practice, with coaching, on the movement skills that protect your back, hips, and shoulders through every shift.
What we offer
A hands-on hour for your nursing and care staff, delivered at your facility. We cover why patient-handling injuries develop, then coach your team through the lifting and repositioning mechanics they use every shift. We bring everything; all you need is a conference room. Now booking fall sessions for Anne Arundel County facilities.
Our complete workshop: the science of spinal load and shift fatigue, followed by four coached practice stations covering the hip hinge, core endurance, posture self-assessment, and movement screening. The first module of a five-part annual curriculum built for hospitals and health systems.
