Holistic Wellbeing Services

The Society through its partners and members are pleased to offer you a variety of wellbeing solutions and holistic services for your workplace.

Working throughout the UK, our wellbeing services can help your organisation avoid the consequences of an unhealthy workforce by creating programmes suited to your culture that will engage your staff and appeal to people from a variety of backgrounds.

What are the reasons for implementing wellbeing solutions in your organisation?

1. Work by Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP commissioned by the Health Work Wellbeing Executive (2008) indicated that ‘workplace wellness makes commercial success’.
2. While benefits will vary by type of organisation and the nature and target of the programme, there is a positive link between implementing wellness programmes and improved key performance indicators and that “programme costs can quickly be translated into financial benefits.” (PWC 2008).
3. A government report has concluded that for every £1 invested in wellbeing you can expect a £2.50 worth of gained productivity and efficiency.

We work with you to develop flexible and tailor-made packages of treatments to help alleviate stress, manage common musculo-skeletal problems and address work-life imbalances - designed to help increase your staff's wellbeing and, as a result, improve attendance and motivation at work and in turn boosting productivity, efficiency and profitability.

The treatments:

On-site Massage - is a fully-clothed massage in a specifically designed comfortable chair. By working the entire length of the back, shoulders, neck and arms, this treatment helps to remove knots caused by tension and/or bad posture.

Indian Head Massage - An ancient system of massage which dispels stress, and relieves tension in the neck, head and shoulders.

Good Posture at your Desk- provided by Stress Management Society's osteopath, advice is given on how to maintain a good posture and avoid postural stress at your workstation, avoid rsi injuries, plus advice on how to properly set up your workstation (e.g. mouse, monitor, etc)

Reflexology -based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands.  By working on these areas a physical change to the body is achieved.

Nutrition - our nutritionist works one-on-one to help people establish a healthy diet while also helping to identify any food intolerance and allergies, helping to address diet related illness in order to achieve improved energy and vitality.

Life Coaching - An empowering system of tools are taught for individuals to learn and take home, helping them to eliminate stress, help break old-patterns, and create new possibilities allowing them to fully enjoy their personal and professional lives.

Auricular Acupuncture - the ear maps the body’s organs and energy streams allowing focussed treatment to re-centre, detox and calm the individual.

Qigong - (pronounced Chi Gung) - Qigong is an aspect of traditional Chinese medicine involving the co-ordination of different breathing patterns with various physical postures and motions of the body.  Qigong can help practitioners to learn Diaphragmatic breathing, an important component of the relaxation response, which is important in combating stress.
