BENPHYSIO Shares Insights on Workplace Wellness at PA Recruitment Sdn Bhd

BENPHYSIO was honoured to be invited to PA Recruitment Sdn Bhd (Jln Imbi) to deliver a talk on workplace Ergonomic and physiotherapy for knee pain and low back pain prevention. 
Our speaker, mr Ben Loo, presented a comprehensive slideshow covering practical tips on ergonomic changes in office. He emphasized, ergonomic does not mean a expensive ergonomic chair or table. But it is "how you sit comfortably over the table and chair, over a period of time, in a relaxed mode.
Also, Mr Ben also demonstrated Live demo and physio assessment onto one of the attendees, to showcase how different benphysio's assessment skill and knowledge in diagnosing their conditions.
This attendee does not have any neck pain, however her neck is showing some stiffness over right side. From there, Mr Ben links it to her right ball and socket joint (glenohumeral joint ) and he managed to pointed out that she is having some pain or dysfunction in her right shoulder mobility. 
Second part of presentation, everyone is educated that knee pain is not due to loss of cartilage, neither weakness of knee muscles, but it is due to stiffness of muscles surrounding the knee joint, which well explained the mechanism of joint space reduction. Some simple stretching exercises are taught too so that can help employees stay knee pain free and lower back pain free. 

The session also encouraged interaction, with attendees asking questions and sharing their own experiences. It was a fantastic opportunity to engage with the team, raise awareness about the importance of proper posture, movement, and self-care in a corporate environment, and demonstrate how small changes can make a big difference in overall well-being.
Among the myth, sitting straight is a wrong move in any office sitting. Mr Ben pointed out that sitting straight, literally we are over extending our spine (medically called hyper lordosis lumbar curve). This action over the years is going to induce overworked of multifidus muscle, which directly leads to "slipped disc", which in benphysio, we no longer look into slipped disc as a problem.
We would like to extend our thanks to PA Recruitment Sdn Bhd for hosting us and to all attendees for their enthusiastic participation. We look forward to more opportunities to inspire healthier, happier workplaces
