I work in the warehouse at a major corporation.
- Recently I was up on a lift and I lost my balance.
I then fell right over backwards and really injured myself. I had to be hospitalized for a while and then do physical therapy. They say I am good to go and able to work, I disagree though. When I wake up in the morning, my body is in extreme pain. I can hardly move my neck. My back is super stiff and it is difficult to get moving. I thought I was going to have to quit my job since I was hobbling around at work and in pain. Thankfully my boss decided to do a corporate wellness program. He paired with the personal training gym and got us a discount. If you work at the company and want to do a fitness class, during the week it is a ridiculously low rate. On the weekend you can get a class for half off. I obviously took my boss up on this offer. The wellness program was said to get my injured body back into shape. I went every single day after work and the personal trainer stretched me out. He also gave me exercises and holds to do that strengthened my muscles. Doing my fitness program is so much better than getting a massage, going to a chiropractor or any other type of service. I just feel so much looser, healthier and stronger now. The wellness and recovery class is really doing its job. I am hoping to be injury free soon.
