3. THE BIG IDEA IN 87 WORDS:
A shift in the healthcare space is underway. Lifestyle stress is now being identified as the root cause to
why America’s health ranks dead last among the top industrialized countries. Managing and Eliminating
Lifestyle Stress is the new frontier in healthcare and Complementary and Alternative Healthcare
providers are leading the way. The Key to a sustainable Corporate Wellness program is developing a
culture dedicated to addressing lifestyle stress as the biggest healthcare challenge/opportunity of our
time and delivering the education and strategies for your workforce to implement.
Physical Stress
Reversing Postural Stress to the Neuromusculoskeletal structure is foundational. Postural compression due to macro and
micro trauma such as prolonged sitting, lack of movement, poor ergonomics, lack of exercise, and cell phone usage alters
musculoskeletal and central nervous system function.
This presentation is about our business in the education and management of Corporate Wellness
Programs.

response, affect all functions of the body and lead to complex disease processes.

like diabetes, heart disease, some cancers and others kill more people than communicable ones.
