For almost a decade Business Health Resources has been helping our clients
meet the challenges of one of the most pervasive and complicated issues
in safety and health. Musculoskeletal injuries account for the vast majority
of workplace injuries and associated costs to businesses. Our mission is
to help our clients prevent and reduce these injuries one individual at
a time.

Business Health Resources grew from the realization during Dr.
Andrew Murro's 15 years of clinical practice that no matter what
people did for a living they usually believed it was something
about their job that caused their aches, pains, and injuries.
The widespread belief that our tools, equipment, job tasks, and
working environments cause our problems inhibited people from making
the necessary changes to their working habits and behavior.

People believed that in order for them to feel better the
job itself would have
to change.
It became clear that only by challenging this belief system would people
make the changes necessary for them to feel better and reduce their risk
of injury. Our approach is based on the reality that it is
not necessarily what we do for a living but how we use our bodies to do
what we do that ultimately determines our risk for aches, pains, and injuries.
In response, Business Health Resources developed a unique and proprietary
learning system. In contrast to traditional methods, our approach focuses
on the individual. We facilitate a process in which the individual challenges
and changes their belief systems. For the first time in their lives they
begin to want to change how
they use their bodies at work and at home.
Over the years this distinct approach has been refined into a proven model
for reducing musculoskeletal injuries resulting from slips, trips, and
falls and cumulative
trauma. Our approach is process oriented and tailored to the unique
needs and circumstances of each client. It incorporates a combination of
ergonomic, biomechanical, and behavior change methodologies. The end result
is behavior change and ultimately a reduction in injuries.
