How it all began
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
Why I do it!
• First Dr. appointment 10 years old for knee pain
• First knee surgery: 16 years old
▫ Was told to stop playing all the sports I loved
• Second knee surgery: 18 years old
▫ Your not going to walk when you are 25
▫ Became curious about “sports medicine”
• 27 years old I was living on IBU
▫ Extreme knee pain
▫ What I had learned up to that point wasn’t helping
▫ Doctors told me surgery was not an option….
 Something I would have to live with
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
3 Things happened to me
1.
I became discouraged with my
diagnosis and depressed because
there was nothing THEY could do, I
had lost hope
2.
I was “Sick and tired of being sick and
tired”
• I decided that it would be up to me to find the
answers, I would continue to learn, explore and
question the status quo
3.
I made a promise to myself
• If I found answers, I would share them with
everyone I could

Yours truly hard at work
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
• I took responsibility and understood the roll
I played in my own recovery
• I was congruent with my actions and was
100% committed to the model
• Its given me the tools, perspective and
confidence to help others
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
This is my
GIFT to you
Lets Get Started
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
Isn’t it frustrating when:
You can spend a lot of money on
“ergonomic” products to still have employees
in pain?
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
Isn’t it frustrating when:
You make appropriate “ergonomic”
corrections and come back to find the
person is working in the same position you
found them in?
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
Isn’t it frustrating when:
Some injuries are degenerative in nature
and suddenly happen “at work”?
Degenerative Disc Disease
Arthritis
The injury that occurred doesn’t match
the mechanism (how it happened)?
“I was just picking up my keys”
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
Isn’t it frustrating when:
There are some jobs and tasks that just have
to be done and are almost impossible to
address with ergonomics?
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
Isn’t it frustrating when:
Your best efforts towards Safety and
Ergonomics don’t seem to match your
worker compensation claims and health
care costs?
Well……..
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
There are some Solutions
• For the next hour we will discuss how occupational
injuries differ from athletic injuries?
• You will learn how can you incorporate the “Sports
Medicine model” into your current ergonomic
program to stop the worker comp bleeding.
• We will focus on a few “Red Flag warnings” and how
to identify what could contribute to potential
injuries from a Sports Medicine perspective.
• You will leave with a better understanding of how to
save money selecting the most appropriate
“ergonomic” product for your employees
• I will give you specific controls that you can begin
implementing today.
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
Differences in “Occupational”
injuries and Athletic Injuries
• There are virtually no differences in the
mechanical and physiological properties of an
“Athletic” injury and an “Occupational” injury
• There are virtually no differences psychologically
between an “Athletic” injury and an
“Occupational” injury
• However there seems to be a difference in the
rate of recovery between an “Athletic” injury and
an “Occupational” injury
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
So how do athletes return
to the field so quickly?
More importantly why
aren’t our employees
returning to work
quicker?

Bureau of Labor Statistics
NONFATAL OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES
AND ILLNESSES REQUIRING DAYS AWAY
FROM WORK, 2012
• “The median days away from work--a key
measure of severity of injuries and illnesses--was
9 days. This is one day more than in 2011”.
Bureau of Labor Statistics,
www.BLS.gov
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
You can not speed up recovery
3 phases to the healing process MUST take place and be managed correctly
• Protection Phases (Inflammatory Phase)
 Acute Phase
 2 - 4 days (Bleeding, Redness, Swelling, Pain,)
• Repair Phase
 Sub-acute Phase
 Up to 6 weeks
 Scar tissue being laid down, (pain, swelling usually
subside)
• Remodeling Phase
 Chronic Phase
 3 months to as much as 2 years for complete healing
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
You can’t speed up recovery
BUT You can slow it down!
• Continued exposure to risk
• Mismanagement of injury (not allowing all 3 phases of
healing to occur)
▫ Stress/Strain/Recover principles
• Poor healing capabilities
▫ Risky Behavioral Factors
 Diabetes – Smoking – High Blood Pressure – High Blood Sugar –
Alcohol Abuse – Obesity – Poor Nutrition
• Lack of taking action
▫ Don’t know what to do
▫ Don’t know who to tell
▫ It will be fine (Ignoring problem)
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
Chronic/Over use Injury
Repetitive motion injuries (RMI), Repetitive Stress injuries (RSI)
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD)
• Chronic conditions lead to tissue
breakdown
• Mismanagement of condition
• Breakdown exceeds repair rate
▫ Can lead to Permeate/Irreversible damage
 Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Lateral
Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow),
Chondromalacia (softening of cartilage,
Arthritis) Degenerative disc disease

Optimum Health
• The five most costly and preventable
chronic conditions cost the U.S. nearly $347
billion—30% of total health spending—in
2010.
• 75 percent of employers' health care costs
and productivity losses are contributed to
employee lifestyle choices
• Every $1 spent on workplace wellness,
decreases medical costs by about $3.27 and
increases productivity, with absenteeism
costs decreasing by about $2.37

Scope of Practice
• Focus on injury and illness
prevention
• Clinical evaluation and
diagnosis, injury assessment
• Emphasis on immediate and
emergency care
• Treatment, rehabilitation,
reconditioning
• Return to play (ASAP)

Sports Medicine “Magic”?
• The skills used in the prevention and recognition
of injuries for an athlete are the same skills
used in the prevention and recognition of
injuries for the employee.
• The skills used in the return to play for an
injured athlete are the same skills used for the
return to work for the injured employee.
• The differences lie in the awareness and
attention of the athletic injury vs. occupational
injury
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
Why Sports Medicine in Ergonomics
• Highly trained and specialized in the Injury management
processes
• Brings a different perspective
• Assess severity and implement immediate and necessary
course of action, “THE RED FLAGS”
• Management of controls that focus on the return to play
(work) as quickly as possible
• “The Human Connection” a necessary component
▫ Pain and Injury have a psychological impact
▫ Educating the patient is critical for self management
• All Inclusive “on-site” injury prevention, management
and wellness provider
• Proven results for Positive ROI and cost control

Results that Save Human and Financial Resources
The National Athletic Trainers’ Association (www.NATA.org) recently conducted a national
survey of industrial companies that utilize the services of a certified athletic trainer.
• Results of the survey showed:
• 100% of the companies reported the athletic trainer provides a favorable return-oninvestment (ROI).
•
•
•
•
•
Of companies that knew the specific ROI amount:
30% indicated the ROI was at least $7/employee per $1 invested.
83% indicated the ROI was more than $3/employee per $1 invested.
94% of companies indicated the severity of injuries has decreased by at least 25%.
68% of the companies indicated that the athletic trainer helped to decrease restricted
workdays and worker’s compensation claims for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) by
more than 25%.
• 50% of companies report that the number of injuries decreased by at least 50%.
• 46% of the companies that provided on-site physical rehabilitation indicated that health
care costs had decreased by more than 50%.

How do you implement the
Sports Medicine Model into
your current Ergonomic
processes?
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
The true secret to the Sports
Medicine model… “The Must Haves”
• The company must have a specific health and
safety initiative with defined goals and
procedures
• There must be congruency in managements
actions that support the company’s health and
safety initiative
• Employees must know their role in the
company initiative and must be offered the
necessary resources to take responsibility for
their own health and safety.

The Different Perspective from
Sports Medicine
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
“Red Flag” Warnings
• Two specific conditions we
have encountered that we
considered “RED FLAGS”
• How each condition is
implicated in our ergonomic
efforts
• Discuss the sports medicine
perspective related to each of
these conditions
• Provide proven solutions that
can be implemented today
Copyright 2014 PRO FIT Solutions
“Red Flags” defined
• What do we mean by “Red Flag” warnings?
▫ Significant evidence that the current conditions
will lead to increased exposure to risk
• Where did the rational come from for
determining the “Red Flag” warnings we have
identified?
▫ Empirical based research
▫ Data collection and observations
▫ Peer reviewed ergonomic, physical therapy and
medical literature
