SAFE MOVES FOR MUMS
Get rid of back, shoulder & elbow pain for good.
Our Safe Moves for Mums eBook is designed specifically to address the common causes of injuries for mums.
Learn how to prevent pain and ongoing injuries associated with caring for babies and children.
Are you experiencing back, elbow or shoulder pain?
It is common for mums to experience pain caused by movements associated with:
Picking up and carrying children
Bending over to pick up toys
Putting children into car seats
Physiotherapy and other rehabilitation focused practices may help to alleviate the pain temporarily, but often the injury is reoccurring unless you learn healthy movement practices.
Addresses pain at its root cause and prevent injuries.
The Safe Moves for Mums programme is designed to teach mums foundational movement principles based on the movement of the “uninjured mum”.
We have spent over a decade studying the movements of the uninjured person compared to a person that experiences common strain and sprain injuries.
In our Safe Movement for Mum’s resources, you will learn these principles and build habits that will change your movements and prevent regular strain and sprain injuries. The movements you will learn are specifically related to those common in childcare, but the principles apply to all areas of your life, including in your workplace or other activities that involve lifting and bending, such as gardening.

Why Safe Moves For Mums
Provention has been providing manual handling/safe movement programmes to NZ and Australian organisations for the past 15 years.
Our core First Move programmes give individuals the skills to be physically intelligent and perform their day-to-day physical activities safely. The result being a reduction in strain-sprain related injuries and associated personal and company costs.
While conducting the First Move training within workplaces, we repeatedly got feedback on how practical and beneficial this information was for all the physical activities required of a ‘mum’. Activities such as lifting children, changing nappies, moving children in and out of car seats, hanging out clothes, emptying dishwashers, picking up toys, carrying a toddler– the list goes on.
So we launched Safe Moves for Mums as our first consumer injury prevention resource.
