About this session
Trades work rarely happens in one comfortable position. Electricians, plumbers, engineers, technicians and maintenance teams move between standing, kneeling, crouching, reaching overhead and working close to the floor, often while holding tools.
This instructor-led session gives participants practical mobility, movement-control and recovery routines built around those real positions.
Standing and supported alternatives are offered throughout, so mixed ability levels can take part. It is movement practice, not treatment.
What your people take away
- Build mobility for demanding work positions
