I am after some that address the types of stretches useful for a production line / manufacturing environment. Cheers. Hi all,

Does anyone have a recommendation for a company that supplies posters for the workplace that describe useful stretches? I am after some that address the types of stretches useful for a production line / manufacturing environment.

Cheers.

He found that by making fists with his toes keeps the circulation in the lower legs and feet active. Scott also recommends rolling the foot in a circle to help keep the ankle free.

I have found that teaching people isometric exercises for their thighs, self mobilisation of the patella femoral joints and simple ankle exercises prior to alighting the vehicle has helped. Similarly there are exercises such as pelvic tilting and lumbar and pelvic rotation exercises done in sitting that assist with the back issues. These only take a few seconds each to do and I have personally found them useful after travelling for extended periods of time in a car. Re:Operators of road plant.

Legs and ankles stiffen up and when they alight from the plant on rough ground, they injure ankles or knees. Any chance of someone out there coming up with such leg or back exercises?
