Hair Stylist ~ Maximize Your Career Longevity ~ How to Prevent MusculoSkeletal Strain
A Hair Stylist works 8-10 hours a day physically using their body. And at the end of a day, you feel this strain. Strain builds up, and overtime compensation takes its toll in the form of Postural Stance changes ~ Structural Misalignment prevails ~ Muscular Aches and Pains. Eventually the signs and symptoms of nerve impingement appear in the form of numbness, tingling, pain, maybe loss of grip strength in the hands, low back pain, legs ache and feet – tired of standing pain… surface. All this takes time but with prevention and knowing a self care program you can delay these aches and pains as you invest in your most valuable tool – You!
On February 28th at 11 AM EST, Kate Montgomery will be a guest on the Hair Artist Radio Show talking about Prevention and Self Care for Postural and MusculoSkeletal Strains for the Hair Stylist and Artist. Please join Host Charlotte Howard and Kate for an open discussion on how to increase your knowledge of self care techniques and assessments to help you maximize your career longevity. (8 AM PST, 9 AM MST, 10 AM CST, 11 am EST)
