Work is a pain in the back

Half of employees say they suffer from back pain at least once a month, with more than a third (37%) blaming work as the contributing factor according to a survey of 8000 adults by back specialists Dynaspine.


We work with many people suffering with back pain and here are 2 ways in which we help them alleviate their symptoms in the long-term:

1) Reduce Stress
Successful exercise, nutrition and work-life balance strategies help reduce stress which often presents itself as pain or discomfort in the lower, middle, upper back or neck and shoulders

2) Balance Your Body
Exercise and Yoga sessions show people how to stretch properly to release tension. Pilates sessions teach how to sit, stand and move with good posture

By raising awareness of elements of a modern working life that could contribute to back pain and suggesting simple strategies for better ways of operating, we aim to reduce pain for individuals and and ultimately reduce the estimated £7 billion a year that absence through back pain costs businesses
