Salon SelfCareU - Foundations Course
Our jobs require us to complete tasks. Salon workers are part of a service industry that gives CARE, service and even pampering to the clients they meet.
The STAFF, from a stylist to a receptionist … to a colorist, esthetician, massage therapist or managers, stand on their feet, hold positions for long periods of time, sometimes with objects in their hands, lifting products and creating an optimal experience for the customer.
We want to help the body learn how to absorb these stressors and free the body of any restrictions the days may cause. So it won’t do harm.
This foundational program provides you with tools and resources to help you focus on your physical health & well-being so you can continue to provide your customers with exceptional service.
The structural issues salon staff report are many.
We are researching these for YOU. This research’s intention is to uncover the BEST tools for your SelfCare needs.
The physically demanding daily work of salon staff (with employees on their feet, standing on a hard surface and moving in repetitive patterns nearly from open to close) can cause pain and mobility issues, particularly to their musculoskeletal system and soft tissues that are directly connected to our bones. SelfCareU is dedicated to providing education and resources in support of salon staff knowing how to work with their physical body to prevent and help overcome health issues common to others in their field.
Repetitive work patterns can create unwanted issues along with tightness, fatigue and pain patterns in our bodies. This images illustrates a few of the most commonly reported issues among salon staff.
