I felt the course could have been abit longer and more in depth for people who have dyslexia or hard of hearing and poor grammar

I found very helpful even with every day task and makes you work easier if you All about manually handling

It was a good refresher course to remind me how important it is to lift things in a controlled manner

Was clear and useful easy to hunderstand

The multiple choice answers were poorly worded, in my opinion.For one question, it asks how you should lift, and should your back either be A). Aligned, B). Bent or C). A straight back.What is the difference between having a straight back and it being aligned, exactly? Unless you're picking something up while being at a weird angle, which I've just spent the training session being told not to do, your back being straight means it is aligned, because naturally your back aligns straight up. If you're about to pick something heavy up you're going to bend your knees and aim to have a straight back as that will prevent as much back damage as possible occuring because it's the way of reducing the amount of pressure on your discs and back muscles and spreading the load to give your back bones the least strain because our spines are naturally aligned upwards.The correct answer to that question was "aligned", apparently, but I don't know what sort of situation you'd be where you'd be bending your knees and have an "aligned" back that isn't straight. If your back was bent and still somehow aligned to the load then you would be stupid to pick anything heavy up, surely.

Clear and concise delivery. Practical examples helpful

Easy to follow and not too long. Can’t think of anything I’d change

I like the whole thing. It is well done, varied, intelligible, and even if most of it is common sense, I think you do a good job of presenting the info. However, as a trained teacher of Alexander technique, it is apparent to me that your female model puts quite a strain on her own lower back when doing some of the tasks in the videos. The general viewer won't notice (nor would the model), so it's fine for the purposes of the video, but the fact that what we feel we are doing is not necessarily what we _are_ doing, is an important reason behind so much of the back pain experienced in the workplace and elsewhere.
