Peer Fitness Trainer Workshop
2018-11-08 08:30 - 16:30 | Firefighters Local 416, 748 Massachusetts Avenue, Indianapolis, IN, 46204, United States
Utilizing Functional Movement Screening (FMS) to Improve Safety on the Fireground
Are you a Peer Fitness Trainer or involved in your fire department’s health and wellness programming? If so, you do not want to miss the workshop.

Workplace injuries that cause employees to miss six or more days of work cost U.S. companies tens of billions of dollars every year. Nearly one third of these injuries were due to repetitive or overuse issues. This workshop will focus on the use of the functional movement screen (FMS) to evaluate movement patterns and then determine functional applications for treatment, assessment and conditioning.
The FMS can change the culture of how you take care of your most important assets…your fellow personnel.
