Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the leading cause of pain, suffering and disability in American workplaces.

They are also the most costly injuries for businesses, accounting for one-third of all worker’s compensation costs. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Indirect costs including lost productivity, quality issues, and administrative and legal expenses can be up to five times the direct costs.

Needless to say, MSDs are a huge problem. With medical expenses spiraling out of control and the increasing need to attract, engage and retain the best people for your organization, it is important for your organization to solve the MSD problem.

Repeat after me: Prevention is the best medicine.

And it’s the answer to the MSD problem. Taking proactive measures to prevent MSDs delivers a huge ROI in both human and financial terms.

For over 25 years, we’ve been helping organizations meet the MSD challenge head on. The average Ergonomics Plus client reduces direct costs of MSDs by 78% within four years of engaging in a partnership with us.

We are a company devoted to helping workplace athletes live healthy, productive lives and remain injury free. Our mission is to partner organizations with on-site athletic trainers to provide unmatched value on the journey to zero MSDs.

This partnership is a win for workplace athletes, for your organization and for athletic trainers.

Workplace athletes are people.

People who work hard and give a portion of their life to help the company meet its’ goals. An on-site athletic trainer working side-by-side the workplace athletes gains their trust. This ongoing dedication to helping workplace athletes work with less fatigue and discomfort dramatically decreases injury risk and prevents MSDs.

Less fatigue and discomfort for workplace athletes means a better quality of life and higher job satisfaction.

Bringing in an expert to work one-on-one with your workplace athletes with the singular goal of preventing MSDs can become a powerful tool for your organization. Adding an on-site athletic trainer to your health and safety team will save you time, money, and help you build a meaningful safety culture.

You’re providing your workplace athletes with the right health care professional at exactly the right time: before an injury occurs.

For Athletic Trainers

An industrial athletic training program doesn’t just benefit workplace athletes and the organization, it also benefits athletic trainers.

Companies around the world are recognizing the value of having an on-site athletic trainer care for their workplace athletes.

It’s a classic win-win scenario and the opportunities for growth in the coming decades are tremendous.
