Our founder, Dr. Sheila O'Halloran studied the human musculoskeletal and nervous system extensively, for over 10 years. During the next 15 years, Dr. Sheila treated thousands of patients in her clinic, located in the SF Bay Area.

​

After seeing so many workers from a variety of industries, it broke her heart knowing that almost every injury could have been prevented. If people only knew what she had learned and were able to apply these lessons in their lives, there would be so much less pain, suffering and loss. 

​

To ensure the best results for her patients and as part of her clinics' treatment and rehabilitation process, Dr. Sheila created a set of proactive solutions designed to improve the health, wellness and skills of every person, giving them the ability to prevent future injuries and illness, for life. 

​

Dr. Sheila started receiving calls from a variety of employers, asking her if she could come to their workplaces and teach their employees her secrets of success. Dr. Sheila created her first injury and illness prevention program in 1997, before anyone was even using the word ergonomics. The results of training were so effective, she eventually sold her practice in the year 2000 and made prevention her new full time career.

​

Over the years, the Accurate Ergonomics (AE) training system has developed into the one of the most successful musculoskeletal injury prevention programs available. Today, the P.O.W.E.R.™ Training program for active occupations, along with P.A.U.S.E.™ For Prevention training for at-desk occupations have been implemented in almost every major industry, with every client and workforce achieving positive results.
