Research shows that 88% of early years and primary education professionals have suffered musculo-skeletal pain* which they feel is work-related and up to 50% of 14 year olds have now experienced back pain.

Staff working at low heights with young children in child-focussed environments have an increased risk of pain due to the very nature of the job – often adopting awkward postures, lifting furniture and equipment, carrying resources and children.

Children's spinal health can be adversely effected by modern lifestyles and poor posture, increasing their risk of musculo-skeletal disorders.
