Body Mechanics Coaching: Building a Strong Foundation for Injury Prevention
Safety professionals understand that training is the cornerstone of injury prevention. But while traditional programs often stop after initial instruction, DORN’s body mechanics coaching takes training further, embedding continuous learning directly into the workplace.
Through real-time observation and feedback, our certified ergonomists help employees refine their movements and posture on the job. Using motion capture technology, wearable sensors, and ergonomic assessments, we identify unsafe movement patterns as they occur, allowing for immediate correction before injuries develop.
Our holistic approach, grounded in anatomy, biology, and physics, ensures that every worker understands how their body mechanics affect long-term health and performance. As DORN expert Cheryl Roy explains in today’s video, most workplace injuries don’t come from a single incident, but from repetitive, unsafe movements performed hundreds or thousands of times. Over time, those movements lead to chronic pain, fatigue, and costly musculoskeletal injuries.
That’s why body mechanics coaching is one of the most powerful tools in proactive injury prevention; it creates lasting behavior change, not just awareness.
Why It Works
- Immediate, on-site feedback: Reinforces proper lifting, reaching, and movement techniques.
- Data-driven insights: Motion analysis and wearable metrics reveal early warning signs of strain.
- Sustained engagement: Ongoing coaching keeps safety top of mind long after training ends.
- Proven ROI: Reduced injury rates, lower workers’ compensation claims, and improved productivity.
At DORN, we’ve spent over 25 years helping employers protect their people through data-driven ergonomics, body mechanics coaching, and hands-on care solutions. Whether in a factory, warehouse, office, or field environment, our mission remains the same: reduce pain, restore function, and empower safe movement at every level of the organization.
