A Real Pain for Teachers in the Classroom!

9/29/2022

12 Comments

 
Standing in front of a room full of eager minds providing them with information on your favorite topic can be a very rewarding job. Whether it is teaching preschoolers the colors of the rainbow or college students calculus, most teachers are on their feet for hours at a time.

Additionally, small tables and chairs, extra low sinks and toilets, and comfortable floor equipment for story reading have all been designed to fit the needs of our kids.  We so often forget that these customized versions of equipment often neglect the fact that the teachers find themselves bending, reaching and modifying their posture to adjust to these tiny ergonomically designed tables and chairs.  Bringing knowledge literally down to their level has its consequences. Preserving the health of our teachers is crucial.
Picture
The fact of the matter is “that two-thirds of workers in primary and early-years classrooms have received treatment for back and joint problems as a result of working in child-sized environments.”  
​
A recent study of more than 700 teachers and pre-school staff found that heavy- lifting of children and equipment, using child-height computers and whiteboards, and standing all day were also adding to teachers’ pain. Nearly 40 per cent of those taking part in the study had taken time off work because of work-related joint or back pain.

Picture
So what can you do as a teacher to avoid these injuries?!?  Here are some tips for reducing low back pain:
  • Don’t clutter your room. Leave enough space to carry things from one side to another.
  • Use safe lifting techniques, try to push rather than pull, and avoid physically lifting students.
  • Take time to adjust workstations, take regular breaks and rest if aching.
  • Try using a high stool instead of standing for long periods.
  • Use a specially designed chair or floor cushion for low sitting.
  • Use a height adjustable table.
  • Wear comfortable and supportive shoes
  • Watch your posture, making sure you do not sway your low back and hang your head forward
  • Walk at work whenever possible
  • To avoid low back pain when standing in one spot, prop one foot up about 4 inches whenever possible on the back of a stool or book. This makes you balance your pelvis.
  • Exercise to strengthen your whole body when not at work. Stronger legs and core will prevent pain.
  • Stretch in the morning and evening specifically cat/cow and calf stretches
  • If you teach younger students, sit in adult sized chairs
  • Take time to adjust your workstation/desk and set the screen at the correct height
    • Eyes should be level with the top of the screen
    • Height adjustable chairs preferably with no arms
    • Elbows, hips, knees and ankles all at 90 degrees
  • Limit sitting to a maximum of 30 minutes at a time.
  • Rest and movement breaks are essential!
  • Schedule a one-on-one visit with a Physical Therapist at Crystal Lake Physical Therapy Inc. to evaluate and treat your back pain!

I’m overjoyed to share my incredible journey with the amazing spell caster, Dr Peter, who helped me reunite with my boyfriend. My relationship was facing numerous challenges, and things got so bad that we ended up breaking up. I was heartbroken. I loved him more than anything. I cried endlessly until a friend of mine, who has a perfect relationship, shared her story and introduced me to the wonderful Dr Peter. He reassured me that everything would be fine and that no relationship is flawless, but he would help me fix mine. He guided me with specific steps, which I followed, and just 24 hours later, my boyfriend returned to me. I’m beyond thrilled! Thank you so much, Dr Peter! I’m leaving his contact information here so you can also benefit from his incredible work: You can reach him on WhatsApp. +1 (646) 494-4360

I want to use this opportunity to testify of the marvelous work of Dr. Odunga and how he has helped me in curing my sickness and bringing happiness into my life. I can really vouch for Dr. Odunga in herbal treatment. I was suffering from Cervical Cancer and infected with HPV 16. I used to have incessant bleeding and there was nothing I could do until a childhood friend introduced me to Dr. Odunga Remedies. I spoke with him and ordered his recommended medication which was delivered to me through DHL. Immediately I began using the herbal medicine, within a  week I couldn't feel any pain. It took me 2 weeks to finish the medicine and afterwards I was completely cured. I highly recommend that you contact him to help you at his email [email protected] OR What'sApp/Call him at +2348167159012

He is 100% reliable to help you too.

Hello everyone,
I'd like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Jakuta, a powerful spell caster who helped me reunite with my ex-lover after a painful breakup. For six long months, I thought our relationship was over, but Dr. Jakuta's spell brought us back together. Within 48 hours of the spell being cast, my ex reached out, apologizing for the hurt and promising to make amends. I was overjoyed and welcomed her back into my life. If you're facing similar relationship challenges or other difficulties, I highly recommend contacting Dr. Jakuta. His spell casting abilities are truly remarkable.
You can reach Dr. Jakuta via WhatsApp: +2349161779461

When the man I love broke my heart, I felt something did left me because I wasn't myself anymore. I had gone to several places for help and counseling yet, I got no results. Until I found [email protected] and I was introduced to Dr Muna by text +2347035449257. I explained my marriage issues with Dr Muna. I’m glad I trusted him by doing all he requested. He performed a spiritual cleansing to banish negative energies that was battling against the joy in my home and then casted a love spell. After 72 hours, the man I was missing began to call and after our conversation, he texted how much he badly misses me too. He apologized for leaving me in the dark and we got back together again.

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn't stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email [email protected]

Hello, my name is Carly Arden. I want to thank Dr. Peter for bringing back my ex-husband.

I’m here to testify about the great work Dr Ahonsie did for me. I have been suffering from (HERPES) disease for the past 2 years and had constant pain, especially in my knees. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be healed someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and i have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago i came across a testimony of one lady on the internet testifying about a Man called Dr Ahonsie on how he cured her from Herpes Simplex Virus. And she also gave the email address of this man and advise anybody to contact him for help for any kind of sickness that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HERPES Virus) he told me not to worry that i was going to be cured!! Well i never believed it,, well after all the procedures and remedy given to me by this man few weeks later i started experiencing changes all over me as Dr Ahonsie assured me that i will be cured,after some time i went to my doctor to confirmed if i have be finally healed behold it was TRUE, So friends my advise is if you have such sickness or any other at all you can contact Dr Ahonsie via email [email protected] You can also call or whatsApp his telephone number on +2348039482367. https://drahonsie002.wixsite.com/dr-ahonsie https://www.facebook.com/drstellaherbalhome?mibextid=ZbWKwLThanks once again Dr Ahonsie.
