Americans spend $5 billion a year on back "treatments." Back pain is the single most significant factor in lost time on the job. The indirect costs of back pain in disability claims and expensive legal actions add billions of dollars to the costs associated with back trouble.This course is based on The Complete Guide to Wellness by two wellness experts, Richard Bellingham, Ed.D. and Barry Cohen, Ph.D., and published in 2001 by HRD Press. Their book is a cumulation of over 20 years of experience in hospitals, wellness centers, and corporations, helping people live healthier, more innovative, and more productive lives. Bellingham and Cohen's approach to wellness is based on the belief that the human being is a system that requires a systematic approach for real change.This course is intended for any employee in an organization who seeks a healthier way of living, learning, and working. Wellness: Introduction and Self-Assessment is a prerequisite.
