Work related stress is a serious problem and tackling it effectively

 can result in significant results for organisations

STRESS IN THE WORKPLACE - THE FACTS

• Approximately half a million people in the UK experience work-related stress at a level they believe is making them ill

• Work related stress costs UK industry approximately £3.5 billion every year

• Work related stress is a serious problem and tackling it effectively can result in significant results for organisations

• Up to 5 million people in the UK feel "very" or "extremely" stressed by their work

Many companies are now recognising the problem and are successfully addressing these issues by adopting a pro-active approach to maintaining a healthy work/life balance.

Therapies4u offers a service run by fully trained and insured Complementary Therapists, who have previously held positions of responsibility in corporate organisations and so can empathise with the needs of your employees.

TREATMENTS AVAILABLE:

• REFLEXOLOGY  - it is a complementary therapy, which works on the feet to heal the whole person.  It is a holistic therapy, which means that, during the treatment, the therapist considers, not only the symptoms and medical history of the client but also their lifestyle and circumstances and so tries to alleviate the root cause of the “disease”, or imbalance, thereby caring for the whole person and aiding them to heal themselves.  Pressure is applied to reflex points on the feet.  These reflexes are connected to distinct areas of the body via nerve pathways and electromagnetic channels of energy called meridians.

• AROMATHERAPY - it is a therapeutic massage that employs essential oils extracted from fruits, leaves, woods, resins, stems of plants and trees in a way that can improve emotional, physical and mental health.  The essential oils are blended to create different "recipes" to assist in healing both mind and body.

• INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE - this therapy works using firm and rhythmic strokes on the upper back, shoulders, arms, neck, scalp and face.  Much of the stress we experience on a daily basis manifests itself in our upper body and this in turn can cause bad posture, tight knotted muscles and severe headaches. This treatment helps to release mental and physical stress and promotes wellbeing.

• SWEDISH MASSAGE - it refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of the blood returning to the heart. This technique can be carried out on the whole body or just on the back depending on your requirements.

• REIKI - The practice of Reiki is an original method of healing developed by Mikao Usui in Japan early in the 20th century, which is activated by intention. Reiki’s natural healing energy works on every level, not just the physical, and promotes the body’s regenerative self healing ability. Reiki is a non-invasive therapy whose purpose is to treat holistically to restore balance and harmony. It is a gentle energy and may be used safely by people of all ages.
