EMS providers lift, carry, and move heavy loads every shift—whether it's patients, equipment, or themselves. Over time, poor grip strength, weak core stability, and inefficient movement patterns can lead to chronic pain, injuries, and even early retirement. This session will break down the research-backed connection between grip strength, overall physical resilience, and injury prevention in EMS. Attendees will learn nine simple but highly effective exercises—including farmer’s carries, pull-ups, and ground mobility drills—that improve grip, endurance, and full-body stability. These exercises require little to no equipment and can be easily integrated into daily routines to reduce strain, increase performance, and extend career longevity. This session aligns with the National Continued Competency Program (NCCP) by addressing physical performance, injury prevention, and long-term career sustainability based on current research in occupational health and sports medicine.
