We are excited to announce that Dr. Nicholas Wright will be joining us this month to speak to us about Stretching and Flexing Programs for the Industrial Athlete! I know that I for one, have taken part in many stretch and flex programs and often find myself question those activities. Is this really effective? Are these stretches really reducing the likelihood of an injury to me?

Dr. Nichloas Wright, a professor of Kinesiology at CSU Fresno, will lead our training topic this month.  He will focus on the importance of having a consistent and structured stretching and exercise program that employees can use before, during, and after work to help reduce muscular injuries.  His practice has focused on the “Industrial Athlete,” drawing important similarities to the needs of professional athletes in sports.  We hope to see you to at the meeting.
