Late last month, Sightpath Medical announced the release of a series of fitness articles for ophthalmic professionals as a way to help alleviate physical stress and discomfort surgeons may encounter during their day.
The fitness series, “Restoring Proper Posture,” is available online and was created with the help of certified personal trainer and nutrition coach Kirk McFarland, CPT, NASM, NSCA, of Life Time Fitness in Eden Prairie, Minn. The series provides tips for younger ophthalmic surgeons on how to avoid physical stress and strain, and offers those later in their career ways to correct or alleviate symptoms.
