"Over 5 million working days are lost each year due to back pain "

Many of us sit or stand for long periods at work. If the body is not free and balanced during that time it isn't surprising that we return home exhausted and at worst, in pain. Headaches, neck pain, backache and RSI are increasing problems. Correct workstation layout is very important as are adequate breaks. However this is only part of the answer. The best layout and furniture makes little difference if the body is habitually being held out of shape. What is required is a change in the "manner of use"

At presentations the largest part of any communication is visual. When a body is agitated, tense or slumped this is being communicated. Once again a persons manner of use is of vital importance.

I have worked with individuals from a wide variety of business organizations and the public sector. This includes the BBC where I was employed to deal with upper limb disorders (RSI) and backache.
