How to Prevent Back Pain Costing Your Business


Back pain is a major contributor to staff absence and lost productivity so here are 6 easy ways for you to help staff avoid any unnecessary pain and discomfort and keep your business running efficiently at all times.

1) Back care & healthy spine workshop
This workshop highlights common back issues faced by staff in a variety of professional and manual roles, and explains how to avoid injuries and how to cure them quickly if they do arise.  The session focuses on techniques that can be incorporated into the working day, as well as walking all participants through the quickest way to design a balanced and functional exercise / activity routine that will keep them in great shape whatever their lifestyle, fitness level or objectives.

2) Back care / injury clinic
Our team of physios provide short 121 consultations to target key individual strategies to cure or prevent back issues.  Treatment can include deep tissue massage along with advice on stretching, stability and mobility exercises for optimum spinal health.

3) Health checks
These 121 appointments provide key health performance indicators and advice on how to target an activity routine for quick results with reduced risk of injury.  Awareness of these key indicators motivates staff to take care of every area of their health including how they use and move their body every day.

4) Massage therapy
Our therapists deliver 15 or 20 minute seated massage treatments which are great for relaxation and spinal realignment, as well as eliminating tension that causes aches and pains.

5) Yoga taster sessions
Yoga helps staff stretch, breathe, relax and balance their body and mind.  Regular classes help employees develop great health and build a portfolio of injury prevention techniques.

6) Pilates taster sessions
Pilates classes teach staff how to develop a strong and functional physical base upon which safe and effective daily movements can be performed.
