Posture and ergonomic assessments

When it comes to many modern ailments, our sedentary lifestyle is the background working force that weakens our body and primes us for pain and disease.

A chair evolved from a place to rest after a hard day of work at the field or a factory, to our daily position of choice.

Given you can sit for more than 8 hours every day, you want to be sure that your workspace is well organized. Your screen height, your chair, and many other parameters can have a drastic impact on your health.

We provide an individual assessment of your employees, right at their working station. Each office-worker is unique and requires specific, tailor-made advice.

This service includes a postural correction, ergonomic adjustments and the prescription of personalized exercises.

Each assessment takes around 5 to 10 minutes per person, so 6 to 12 employees can be assessed per hour. Learn the different ways of sitting better, how to set up one’s workstation and understand which muscles to stretch or strengthen.

Allow immediate action to prevent future neck and back issues!

Hands-on treatments

Hong Kong is a very busy city, and your time is valuable. Save time and money by having us come directly to your place and offer full 45 minutes sessions to your employees.

Physiotherapy and Osteopathy can help you with a wide range of conditions related to office work, from acute pain to long haunting chronic problems.

We will bring a foldable massage table, as well as every other item needed for the treatments. As long as you have a room that can be dedicated to the service, we got you covered!

Our flexible programs allow your employees to receive professional treatments directly at your office. You can book us on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis, depending on your specific needs.

 

Group training sessions

Your body adapts to the position you assume for most of the day. If you sit a lot, it creates a comfort zone which makes it difficult for you to get into better positions when you try later.

Long sitting hours are a slow, methodical deterioration process that if left unchecked will have a huge impact on all aspects of your life.

Book our group sessions to learn now how to perform some basic movements properly, so you can avoid catastrophic breakdowns.

Each session is 45 minutes and consists of stretches and mobility drills. These are gentle, specifically designed for office-workers and suitable for all levels.

The goal is not to break a heavy sweat, but to offer your body the flexibility and mobility that are compromised from sitting most of the day.

From an enjoyable lunch break, to an after-work relaxing session, get your office together for a group session.

Put the health and fitness of your organization and team members at the forefront!
