Balance Biomechanics uses first aid tools like heat, massage, self massage education, kinesiology tape, red light and preventative exercises with great success in reducing recordable MSDs
Do some cases provide first aid treatments over a long period of time and involve multiple applications? YES
Do some employers/providers push the boundaries of the intended care? YES
MY ADVICE to provide successful Early Intervention:
🔹inform employees about your process of early reporting on a regular basis (quarterly) and WHY you provide it (more than saving the company money)
🔹over inform on body education
🔹use the same individual professional to provide first aid care/education over the course of a case
