Millions
of man-hours are lost every year through absenteeism - with consequent
financial implications for employers. Many illnesses such as anxiety and depression ; heart problems and raised blood pressure ; skin disorders ; Irritable Bowel Syndrome and cancer ( amongst others )are now recognised as being stress-related.Poor lifestyle and work habits with the inevitable effects of obesity , lack of exercise and unbalanced posture also take their toll. |
All
the therapies mentioned in this site can be adapted to half-hour
sessions , individually tailored to the employee's need - whether this
be the relief of headaches
, shoulder tension , eyestrain , Repetetive Strain Injury , back
problems or general feelings of stress. An opportunity can also be
taken by
the therapist to inform people and support them in taking responsibility
for their own health. |

| A
recipient of on-site treatment writes ............ "The employees of (the company) were all in favour of the treatments and felt that it was beneficial to company morale. It was much appreciated by all." Research has long since shown that satisfaction or morale is related to employee absence and employment stability (Brayfield and Crockett 1955 ) |
