HEALTHY BACKS & BODIES™

HEALTHY BACKS & BODIES™ is the evolution of this drive, and the manifestation of Tanya Weiker’s mission: To help people live fuller, healthier, happier lives through the prevention of unnecessary pain and injury. And to empower people and corporations to take action in mastering the biomechanics of safe, healthy and efficient movement before the pain and dysfunction show themselves.

Working with multiple aspects of injury prevention, treatment and performance for the past 25 years, Tanya has fine-tuned her approach to guiding people of all ages and physical demands, into a safer, more attuned, healthy lifestyle.

Tanya’s programs are the culmination of years of hands-on treating, clinical insight, and clinical and corporate teaching united with the realization that if only people knew the way, and would commit to following it, back pain as we know it could be forever changed. Tanya’s teaching is founded upon the belief that awareness and knowledge lead to action and that when provided with a compelling reason in combination with sound tools, people are inherently motivated to change and to protect their bodies.

Join us as we welcome back Tanya to learn:

Improved physical health and healthcare measures via proper C�O�R�E™ Posturing & Positioning within the instruction of Adaptive Office Ergonomics
Heightened proficiency in ‘re-working’ an office work station and a home work station to meet recommended ergonomic guidelines and standards
Increased utilization of basic ergonomic measures to prevent injury, foster health, and minimize (or eliminate) musculoskeletal pain in daily working and living.
Enhanced application of C�O�R�E™ Positioning, integrated movements and preventative actions within the office and home work settings
Decreased loss of time secondary to MSD’s, RSI’s and musculoskeletal pain
Decreased negative impact of pain and injury on productivity, energy, stamina, endurance, efficiency, morale, and effectiveness
