Core Strengthening Programs

The UPMC MyHealth We’ve Got Your Back program combines industry best practices, physical assessments, and evaluation to encourage proper lifting techniques, which can improve health and core muscle strength, and reduce the risk of injury.

UPMC Health Plan is partnering with UPMC’s Centers for Rehab Services (CRS), the Winter Institute for Simulation and Educational Research (WISER), and EAP Solutions to deliver an aggressive educational awareness campaign at UPMC McKeesport, which includes training in technical lift and body mechanics best practices, physical assessment, and evaluation.  More than 250 nurses, nursing assistants, patient care technicians, LPNs, and clinical case workers at UPMC McKeesport were the first participants in the pilot effort, which is designed to help reduce the number of low back injuries.  Find out more at UPMC Health Fair
