With SPC Medical Center’s Industrial Clinic Division (SPCMC/ICD) objective of promoting preventive healthcare in the workplace, the group recently facilitated an on-site lecture about work related pain held at SM San Pablo City. The lecture is aimed to create awareness, understanding and proper management of the common work-related discomfort and even injuries experienced, regardless whether an employee is assigned a desk job or doing manual labor.

Little did employees know that the aches and pains they experience, such as back, leg and shoulder pains are sometimes work-related due to the repetitive task they do like typing long hours on their computers or standing up. With this on mind, the Industrial Clinic Division initiated this program to bring awareness about work related pains and injuries, its true causes and what are the preventive measures one can do to avoid or alleviate the pain.

Dr. Jan Michael Lleva, one of SPCMC’s leading Physiatrist delivered the lecture while certified Physical Therapist Ms. Loida Vidania demonstrated some exercises one can do to help ease pains. The lecture participants enthusiastically participated in the exercises.
