Is your Office chair hazardous for your health?

As a lot of us get back into a shorter working week courtesy of her majesty, (Thanks Queenie!) you have sat down at your desk to sort through emails, write reports, research and tap away at the keyboards and it is easy to get caught up in the pressures associated and spend hours there with minimal movement off your rear-end.

Humans are designed to move but in our modern lifestyles it is easy to neglect this much needed practice.

So if you are at your desk until your eyes dry out, your back is sore, tight legs and shoulder, stiff and sore, you need to get up and move.


Walking is great but it still only moves your body in a limited fashion, after being essentially static for so long you need to move your body through it's full 6 degrees of movement!

This can be done by mobilising all your joints through their full range of movement (not just up, down and side to side) and taking yourself through a range of moving postures (that don't require a yoga mat or for you to roll around on the floor for), the end result of this is a short and revitalising break to ensure that when you do you eventually leave your desk you don't feel like you're 50 years older and have spent the day cramped up in a box!

If you want the best way to do this our new Office survival programs will restore the flow to your body, increase mobility, eliminate aches and pains, reduce stress and refresh your mind unlike anything else.

These programs can be done at your desk (just slip your shoes off), can be done by anyone and all you need is a few minutes.

If you're thinking to yourself I haven't got the time there is just too much to do , ask yourself how productive am i being now and how much more productive could i be if I wasn't so damn uncomfortable?


Our professional trainers will come into your Melbourne workplace and take you through the program in a workshop, then provide ongoing support to ensure everyone gets the maximum benefit.

Remember whoever you work for they are powered by people and this much needed program will improve your and your companies bottom-line
