Ergonomist And Injury Prevention Specialist, Presenter, Coach
CurrentI started Tailored Injury Prevention Solutions (TIPS) in 1994, and I still love what I do. The needs and hopes of each person and company are personal to me. I look at the history and assess movement and jobs to identifying what is weak, limited, compromised or unsafe. We optimize functional health, with an approach that is attainable with whatever challenges are going on. I know what it is to try and to fail because you just can’t do it all. To lose hope, not believing it can work for you. It is my great thrill in life, to help you do that which you believe you cannot do. To regain and maintain your physical health, function, vitality and safety. My work is play and I would love to show you how to believe again, in whatever your health and safety dreams are, for yourself and your organization.TIPS provides true injury prevention, correcting the biggest contributors to workplace injuries. The result is a 50-80% reduction of injuries in the first year with a huge return on investment and happier, healthier employees. Instead of high on-going costs, we provide you with the training, tools, systems, and support for on-going results in three easy steps. This is a smart but simple approach for true and sustainable prevention.Maria is an Ergonomist with a degree in Exercise Physiology and certifications in CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist), Myokinematic Restoration, FMS 1&2, Gait and Corrective Movement, and more.
