Where are the programs to keep surgeons in good physical shape?
As Orthopedics This Week Publisher Robin Young wrote in a 2016 article on this same subject, athletic training can be a vital component in the musculoskeletal health of surgeons:
“At the recently concluded NATA (National Athletic Trainers Association) conference in Baltimore several speakers presented strong data that the athletic trainer model—which is a basic fact of life for both amateur and professional athletes—can effectively lower work place musculoskeletal injuries by 40%, 50%, 60% or more.
“And a wide variety of industries are trying this out.
“Aerospace, auto manufacturing, law enforcement, military and virtually every college or university are embracing the concept of certified athletic trainers in their workforce to assess and treat employees at work…. But not, it would seem, hospitals and clinics—despite the high rate of musculoskeletal injuries and workplace injury absenteeism…. When asked, executives who set up industrial athlete programs told OTW that hospitals and clinics were among the worst industries at adopting the principles of athletic trainers.”
“Whatever the cause,” Robin wrote, “it’s a fact that the hospital athlete could benefit significantly from the athletic training model.”
It’s interesting how you said that one of the most common injuries is lumbar disc herniation. My friend likes to spend a lot of time in the gym and he suffered and injury but still does not know what he has. I will recommend him to contact a specialist so he can get surgery if needed.

I had a hip replacement by Dr.and got to go home 7 hours after the surgery. I had one four years ago and was in the hospital for four days. Then on a walker for a week and then on crutches for a week and a half and then cane. I started using a cane after I was home in one week. By week two no cane except on steps and I was driving at three weeks. This was a fantastic surgery compared to what I had a few years ago. Dr. Peterson does not get invasive so he did not cut my nerves or muscles and the healing progress was so much better.
