Movers and Shakers

Rad techs are basically professional movers—lifting patients, sliding tables, repositioning equipment all day. Modern ergonomics matters more than ever, especially with rising patient volumes and heavier average body weights. Protect yourself by adjusting table height before transferring patients, using slide boards religiously, and keeping loads close to your body. Don’t twist when you can pivot. Add micro-stretches between cases: shoulder rolls, neck rotations, and wrist mobility. Think long-term—future you will thank you for every aligned lift and supported posture. Your body deserves the same care you give your images.
