The term Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMD) represent a group of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system derived and intensified from the exposure to occupational demands (Luttmann et al., 2003). Regardless of the number of research studies on the subject, the burden of WRMD to individuals and the society is unquestionable and increasing. According to the American Federation of Labor and congress of Industrial Organizations (2014) these disorders were responsible for 34.7% of all serious workplace injuries in 2012. The number of days away from work due to WRMD increased 1 day to a median of 12 days in 2012 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2013).
