“Hilyer et al. randomly assigned firefighters from two of four fire districts to perform 12 daily stretches for 6 months, while the firemen from the other two districts were instructed not to stretch (total 469 firemen)…there was a clinically relevant decrease in risk for the group that stretched (relative risk 0.82; 95% CI, 0.59 to 1.13)…Further, the costs due to lost time from work were also less in the group that stretched ($950/injury vs. $2828/injury).” Hilyer JC, Brown KC, Sirles AT, Peoples L.
