Training the basic steps and principles
Before you start learning the movements, you will learn the relevant basic steps and principles. You will encounter these again and again in the training sessions. The basic steps therefore form a crucial foundation that you should internalize. They will be repeated and practiced several times during the training course. You can repeat and practice the basic steps at any time in the training area under the "Movement" tab.

Movement units/training units
In the movement units, you will learn how to perform low-impact movements for typical movement sequences from your everyday work. The movements are divided into several steps to make it easier to learn the complex movements.

The structure of a movement training course is as follows:
 
Introduction
A brief introduction to the unit. This is where the movement is discussed and what is being trained in this unit.
 
Demonstration of the overall movement
Your trainer then shows you what the entire movement should look like at the end. The most important points for the execution of the movement are explained and which basic steps are relevant so that you can perform the movement with as little strain as possible.
 
Explaining and demonstrating the steps
This is followed by a breakdown of the work steps. Each individual step is explained and described in detail. The most important points are highlighted for each step. In addition
It is also shown and discussed here where you can support the person being cared for in order to reduce the strain on your body.

Summary
At the end of the unit, you will receive a summary of the movement you have learned. The four most important components of the movement are highlighted again.
 
Occurrence of pain
If you have persistent pain after an exercise, please take a break from the active exercises in the app. If the pain does not improve after 1-2 days, please see a doctor and have the pain checked out before continuing with the exercises.
