LIUNA Local 60 Brings Salaso’s myHealthyBody Platform to New York Construction Workers to Help Prevent and Manage Musculoskeletal Injuries 

New partnership gives Local 60 members on-demand access to personalized musculoskeletal (MSK) support, designed specifically for the physical demands of frontline construction work. 
 
 

NEW YORK, NY, July 21st, 2026: Salaso Health Solutions today announced the launch of myHealthyBody with LIUNA Local 60, bringing a clinically validated musculoskeletal health platform directly to the Union’s members who build, repair and maintain critical infrastructure across Westchester and Putnam Counties in New York.  

Construction work is essential, skilled and physically demanding. Every day, LIUNA Local 60 members lift, carry, bend, climb, kneel and work in challenging environments to keep communities moving. Musculoskeletal disorders are among the most common causes of lost or restricted work time in the U.S. workforce, and construction workers face elevated risk due to repeated exposure to heavy manual work, awkward postures and vibration, as well as changing site conditions. The impact of this work can extend beyond the body, with pain, fatigue and injury often too affecting mental health, well-being and quality of life. This partnership with myHealthyBody gives Local 60 members a practical, accessible tool to help them protect their bodies before pain or injury takes them away from work, family and daily life. 

Through myHealthyBody, LIUNA Local 60 members can access: 
  • Personalized, clinically validated guidance to help manage pain, strain and injury
  • Expert-designed exercise programs for injury prevention and recovery, resilience and overall mental and physical well-being 
  • Role-based well-being resources that reflect the demands of construction and infrastructure work 
 

Built to meet workers where they are, myHealthyBody combines evidence-based physical therapy exercises, education and self-management support in an engaging digital platform that members can use on demand. For benefit and welfare funds and contributing employers, the platform is designed to improve engagement, support earlier intervention, and reduce avoidable costs associated with MSK injuries. Salaso’s platform has been shown to reduce MSK claims costs by up to 25% by engaging members earlier with preventive programs and evidence-based guidance. 

“The people who build and maintain critical infrastructure in our communities deserve health solutions that are built around the realities of their work,” said Aoife Ni Mhuiri, Founder and CEO of Salaso Health Solutions. “We are proud to partner with LIUNA Local 60 to give members direct access to practical, clinically validated support that can help them move better, recover stronger and stay ready for the job.”

“Our members put their bodies on the line every day to build, repair and maintain the infrastructure our communities depend on,” said Luke Ascencao, Certified Health & Nutrition Coach, EAP Director, Local 60 Benefits Fund. “Protecting their health and well-being is central to who we are as a union. By introducing myHealthyBody, we are giving members another practical resource to help prevent injuries, manage pain and stress and support a better quality of life on and off the job.”
