The Secret Weapon to Protect Hotel Staff from Back Injuries—and Make Guests Happier

In the heart of Hawaii’s most iconic resorts—the Sheraton Waikiki and The Royal Hawaiian Hotel—there’s a quiet heroism unfolding every day. Housekeeping staff and engineering crews go above and beyond, lifting, bending, reaching, repairing, and ensuring every corner of the guest experience is flawless.

But there's a cost.

The physical demands of hotel operations often lead to one of the most common and costly injuries in the workforce: low back pain.

As a physical therapist with 29+ years of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how preventable this pain can be when people are given the right tools. That’s why I wrote Suck It In: The Proven Solution to Eliminate Low Back Pain Forever and Get a Flatter Stomach—a science-based, practical guide that teaches everyone how to activate their deep core muscles to stabilize and protect their spine from the inside out.

A Back-Saving Tool for Your Team

What if every new employee—housekeeper, maintenance worker, or engineer—received Suck It In deep core spinal protection training during onboarding? What if injury prevention and core strength became as essential to training as customer service?

By implementing this book into your hotel’s onboarding and wellness programs, you’re not just handing out a book. You’re offering:

*Injury prevention training that reduces worker's comp claims

*Faster onboarding with safe movement practices built-in

*Empowerment tools to help employees care for their bodies while doing their essential work

*More consistent guest satisfaction, since a healthy, pain-free team delivers better experiences

How It Works

The book’s signature strategy—Deep Core Activation—can be taught through:

Onsite or virtual Lunch & Learn sessions

Interactive webinars led by me

Customized hotel-specific movement safety trainings

These sessions teach staff how to “suck it in” properly—not cosmetically, but neuromuscularly, triggering their deep core and spinal stabilizers like the transverse abdominis and multifidus. The results? Reduced back pain and injury risk, improved posture, and greater energy throughout the shift.
