Musculoskeletal Health Webinar by Professor Tony Woolf

MSK problems affect our bones and joints, they cause pain and reduce dexterity and mobility. This limits people’s ability to work and impacts the productivity of businesses, both large and small. A musculoskeletal (MSK) healthy workplace enables people be healthy, fit and stay in work. Despite this, many individuals and businesses are not aware of how they can help themselves and others.
