Wellness Courses for Desk Workers
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the most common ailments in the workplace, leading to absenteeism, lost productivity, reduced work quality, higher turnover and increased healthcare costs. They are also commonly linked to depression and increased risk of developing chronic diseases.
Let’s reverse this trend together.
MSD issues are real. The situation is dire - if we do nothing about it.
When pain is felt in one part of the body, the source of pain is often
located far from the pain site.
This makes diagnosis and treatment tricky. Therapeutic massage, founded on modern science, identifies and relieves tight muscles
responsible for the pain.
This three-part wellness course introduces therapeutic self-massage to treat aches and pain associated with musculoskeletal disorders.
Through the use of pain diagrams, participants find the possible causes of their pain and acquire self-massage techniques for pain relief.
1: Self-massage for neck and shoulder pain
2: Self-massage for lower-back pain
3: Self-massage for upper-limb pain

Poor working posture has long been singled out as the main contributor of workplace-related musculoskeletal disorders amongst office workers. As employees continue to work from home or adopt hybrid working arrangements, organisations must, more than ever before, provide support for the practice of sound ergonomics.
Our ergonomics talks consider workspace design, user behaviour and task design to promote good work posture and habits. Although originally meant for computer users, the content can be adapted to any form of desk work.
1: Setting up and using your workspace ergonomically
2: Fight the sitting disease before it kills you
