The Problem
Workers in pain tend to slow down or use other parts of their body to compensate for weakened areas. As frustration mounts, the risk of injury increases and productivity slides. Lacking effective intervention, absenteeism and workers compensation claims can significantly affect a company's bottom line.
The Solution
Each InjuryFree Employee Maintenance Center (EMC) is an on-site health and safety facility for employees. EMCs are staffed by professionals trained to care for pain and injuries, rehabilitate injured employees, and prevent future injuries from occurring.

Back, Neck, and Shoulder Programs
Because back, neck, and shoulder problems represent a major portion of annual workers compensation claims, EMCs include special equipment and technologies for workers suffering from pain in these areas. Run by trained staff, our back and neck programs provide employees with:
- Personalized plans to improve back, neck, and shoulder strength
- Regimens to improve flexibility and reduce the risk of shoulder tears
- Body mechanic education to improve safety and job task performance
- Quarterly scorecards that encourage participation and follow-through
Is an EMC right for you?
Yes, if you're struggling with:
- Deterioration of worker health or physical abilities
- High number of repetitive injuries
- Pain-related productivity decreases
- Increased time loss or absenteeism
- Injury-related morale issues

Kimberly-Clark, Conway, AR
In 2005, Kimberly-Clark's Conway, Arkansas, manufacturing facility launched a pilot program with InjuryFree, Inc., to reduce musculoskeletal injuries in the workplace, particularly those injuries resulting from microtrauma and repetitive stress. After three years of continuous program operation, injuries and related costs at the Conway facility have shown a significant and steady decline.
