Stretch Programmes for Sedentary and Manual Workers
Elevate Your Potential (EYP) Stretch Programmes
Kadam Kinetics introduces the EYP stretch programmes for both manual and sedentary workers. The EYP stretch programmes are more than just a set of simple stretches. The exercises have been designed and sequenced specifically to enhance posture, correct biomechanics and optimise function of all the systems of the body, making it less prone to fatigue and injury.
Who should participate?
Manual Workers
The EYP manual stretch programme is a 5 minute sequence of stretches and movements designed as a pre-work warm up. The sequence can be practised at the beginning of the day, during the day following a break, or at end of the day in the comfort of your own home. The exercises activate and coordinate the prime moving and stabilising muscles of the body, preparing it for optimal and injury free movement.
Sedentary Workers
The EYP office stretch programme is a 5 minute sequence of stretches and movements designed to combat the many bad side effects of prolonged sitting. The movements can be practised as a sequence or in isolation to target specific areas of discomfort and strain. This programme affects not only the the musculoskeletal system of the body, but the respiratory, circulatory, endocrine and nervous systems as well. Consistent practise of this programme combats the detrimental effect of sustaining prolonged postures on the physical body, and boosts creativity, productivity and hence job satisfaction.
Programme Benefits
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how the body moves, including the importance of ‘counter’ measures to combat poor posture and handling methods. Participants will learn optimal movement patterns and correct stretching techniques including appropriate alternatives to ensure safety around pre-existing conditions. Using EYP stretch guidelines, individuals will gain the awareness required to identify vulnerable areas within their own body that may be susceptible to injury. They will develop the knowledge and skills to implement positive physical change and experience a greater range of pain free movement within the body.
