“A Novel Approach to Pain Management For Farmers” + “Let’s Mooove: Movement and Self-Massage for Longevity & Productivity on the Farm”

This session will describe two Maine AgrAbility programs. (1) Maine Farmers tend to consider pain to be an accepted part of their work regardless of the consequences. Maine AgrAbility worked with an occupational therapy doctoral student from the University of Southern Maine on a study of “Managing Pain on the Farm, a Tool for Farmers.” (2) Acquire a simple set of skills through Let’s Mooove that will provide tools to care for your body every day. Built around your work day and tasks, and in as little as few minutes each hour, you can begin using mobility and stability exercises to cultivate strength and flexibility for the long haul or harvest.

Presenters: Brie Weisman and Antonia Small, Maine AgrAbility, and James Wall, University of Southern Maine
