the HEALTHY RESEARCHER campaign

SEMINARS ON PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT OF BACK PAIN IN COMPUTER-USERS

As of 2015 Nature&Society collaborates with graduates in human kinetics to organize seminars addressed to Universities and Research Institutes which deal with one of the biggest health issues affecting their employees: back pain in computer users. The seminars will explain researchers the main causes of computer-related pain and will provide suggestions on how to manage symptoms. However, main focus of the seminars will be  on explaining how to prevent pain by correcting posture and movements at the computer and how to reduce causes of pain by performing physical exercises at the computer desk. Theoretical notions will be provided through practical demonstration of concepts and exercises which involve the audience. Prevention is the cheapest solution to health problems.
