Do you have a high-risk clientele? If so, your clients are at a higher risk of suffering knee and lower back injuries. This is especially true if you operate in an industry such as mining, construction, or manufacturing. These types of jobs place heavy stress on the knees and lower back. That’s why many companies implement vital programs meant to bulletproof these areas. Bulletproofing your clients’ knees and lower back helps them avoid injuries and increases their ability to perform safely and efficiently at work. Let’s look at how to bulletproof these two areas so that your clients remain safe and can continue working for years.
The human body is a fantastic piece of machinery. We’re blessed with the ability to move our legs and arms in almost any direction.

Weaknesses in one area of the body can cause the body to compensate in other areas. This is especially true for athletes who need to maintain their incredible physical capabilities while performing at their peak.
Athletes who participate in high-impact sports such as soccer, basketball, volleyball, and football can develop imbalances that can lead to injuries. Strengthening exercises are essential to rehab and can help the athlete avoid future damage. This article will highlight some of the many ways that strengthening exercises help athletes recover from injury and maintain their physical capabilities.
