Warm-up

Title – Warm up
Date – November 2006

Warming up as a group is a very important part of our health and safety assessment before we carry out any kind of physical activity. Our instructors will before any physical activity is undertaken carry out a risk assessment, identifying any existing injuries and briefing candidates on how to ensure they avoid injuries to themselves and others.

Beyond The Blue runs it courses only with the most thorough health & safety measures in place. The very nature of our low-impact techniques means that strength and force are not required to master them; therefore what can sometimes seem like simulated violence is actually only play acting with no actual strength being used. This philosophy means that injuries are highly unlikely and candidates are perfectly safe under our duty of care.

But despite all the precautions we take we still believe in a substantial warm-up and stretching programme to reduce the risks yet further.

The courses we run include; Physical Interventions (PI); Conflict Management and Resolution (CMR).
