Nursing and Skilled Care
Biomechanics – effective body mechanics methodologies for safe patient handling exist. PSR®, Professional Safeguard Response®, has reduced back injuries for 25 years in the emergency services and labor intensive work arenas in the U.S. PSR®, is a unique methodology of training into core strength through the intra truncal pressure and autonomic reflex control of the breath or diaphragmatic mechanism (as in birthing, singing, or Judo).
Though there is no training method that is 100 percent fool proof in avoiding on the job injuries, we have come up with a training program that has been very effective in reducing injuries when doing llifting and moving of limp human weight as in patient handling and transfers. What makes the PSR® program unique from all others is that the agency specializes in those work arenas where changing the work environment is impractical or impossible. Yes, assistive devices area good idea, but in many cases, one does not have immediate access to them, as in reaching over a bed in a hurry for somebody turning blue. That is where PSR injury reduction programs shine. Moreover, with our new licensing program, any health care or skilled care facility can offer this training to their health care workers in house on a continuous basis. |

The program has reduced the number of back injuries in major at risk organizations by 80% with substantially reduced human capital losses and associated costs. The severity of injuries is often significantly reduced as well, thus making it less likely that careers would be derailed. This has been well proven in tested municipal and federal entities particularly in the emergency services EMS, paramedic agencies in the U.S.
