Interview with Lauriann Greene of Save Your Hands!
Lauriann Greene, CEAS, is co-author and publisher of Save Your Hands!, the leading text on injury prevention, self-care and ergonomics for manual therapists. Lauriann has been a leading writer, educator and researcher on injury prevention for manual therapists since 1995. In 1995, she wrote the 1st Edition of Save Your Hands!, the first comprehensive book on injury prevention ever published for manual therapists.
Since that time, Lauriann has written numerous articles on self-care and injury prevention for major publications including Massage Therapy Journal, Massage Magazine, Massage & Bodywork, and Positive Health, as well as a column in Massage Magazine called “Helping the Healers” (the first column on this subject in a massage publication). In 2005, Lauriann joined forces with professional ergonomist and massage therapist Richard W. Goggins on a survey that produced the first reliable statistics on the prevalence of injury among massage therapists and bodyworkers, the results of which were publish in 2006 in Massage & Bodywork. Lauriann is now a Certified Ergonomics Assessment Specialist, and continues to collaborate with Richard to offer a range of injury prevention and ergonomics consulting and continuing education services to manual therapists.

your history is much like mine. i was injured in school as well and that led to me learning about forearm massage. i think its great you took a negative thing and turned it into an amazingly positive thing.
it’s wonderful to see how much you equate being comfortable with productivity and how businesses are starting to see this as well.
