Back pain at work? Manelli has the solution

Summary :

Back pain, a recurring problem

In France, nearly one in two French people suffer from back pain at work, and almost 80% of work stoppages are due to "musculoskeletal disorders" according to health insurance.

Thus, according to the "Work Accident" branch revealed by Social Security, the sectors most affected by these accidents are the building, medical and kitchen sectors, where employees are mostly standing and forced to make complex movements that can damage their backs and feet.

But not only that, their work shoes are not necessarily adapted to them, they use "makeshift" postures in order to feel comfortable, but which condemn their body to damage itself a little more each day.

Several solutions have been implemented to prevent and/or avoid these problems. Manelli stores sell some of them.

Coverguard insoles:

back pain

Coverguard Footwear has developed universal breathable insoles with pressure- and vibration-reducing foam that supports the arch of the foot. Anti-static, antibacterial, anti-mold, breathable, and adjustable, these insoles help reduce risks associated with poor posture or hygiene, such as blisters, calluses, corns, rheumatism, arthritis, toe deformities, flat feet, bunions, and sprains.

The standing position is automatically optimized and provides better back support. Sold in pairs, several models are available at a very attractive price on the Manelli website:

• Coverguard Classic soles

• Coverguard Breath insoles

• Coverguard Form insoles

• Coverguard Essentials insoles (sold in packs of 6)

Coverguard heel pads:

Designed to absorb all types of mechanical shocks to the feet, Coverguard heel pads provide comfort that reduces fatigue and alleviates the risk of general foot and leg weakness. They are also ideal for combating back pain related to poor posture.

Shoes with cushioned soles:

These shoes are ideal for work, especially when you're constantly active. Shoes with cushioned soles help limit the impact of energy on your body when you're moving. More precisely, the sole of your shoe absorbs and dissipates some of your energy, instead of transferring it to your bones, muscles, and joints. This allows your feet to resume their natural function of shock absorption and propulsion, while also helping to realign your posture. Therefore, there's less risk of poor posture and less risk of muscle or joint pain.
