Save Your Hands!® instructor program
Oct. 15, Coconut Creek, FLA – Save Your Hands!® announces the affordable Certified Injury Prevention Instructor (CIPI) program, designed to provide chiropractors and other manual therapists the skills, curriculum, and marketing know-how to perform successful independent Save Your Hands!® workshops for  practitioners in clinics, spas and schools.

The CIPI certification program is a new program taught by a trusted name in self-care and ergonomics, and designed to train chiropractors and other manual therapists to teach injury prevention to practitioners of all manual therapies. 

The program comprises three online courses, including one by renowned massage marketing/business expert Cherie Sohnen-Moe on how instructors can market themselves as a CIPI. The certification process concludes with a live, hands-on weekend workshop.  The first live workshops will be held in Corona, California (at Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa) on November 13-14, 2010 and in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on February 12-13, 2011. The entire certification provides 50 CEUs.(Please check with your local jurisdiction for details.)  Canadian registrants will be charged in CDN dollars, at par with US fees. 

According to Lauriann Greene, CIPI Program Director and one of the foremost experts on injury prevention for manual therapists, “Seventy seven percent of manual therapists and bodyworkers report symptoms or injury as a result of their work. But these injuries can be prevented. There’s a great need for more capable instructors to teach effective, proven methods and tips to prevent injury. By becoming certified, chiropractors and other manual therapists can help other therapists to protect and prolong their careers while creating an additional income stream and saving their own hands.”

CIPI graduates get ongoing support with tools from the saveyourhands.com  web site, including an online directory that potential employers use to locate CIPIs, a forum to communicate with other CIPI’s, and access to Save Your Hands!® co-authors and expert instructors Lauriann Greene and Rick Goggins for questions and advice.

Schools and clinics benefit from training a CIPI

For schools, the program provides a way to train an instructor to incorporate effective injury prevention information into the school’s core curriculum and continuing education program.

For clinics, the CIPI program can provide an in-house injury prevention trainer to help reduce workers' comp claims, turnover and absenteeism among treatment staff.

Instructors can also work with RMTs and other manual specialists in spas to help these businesses reduce the number of sick days and time lost due to practitioner injury.
