Bowen Therapy in the Workplace
Corporate Wellbeing days can be provided by BTPA members.
Wellbeing in the workplace
There is a real opportunity, in these financially difficult times, for companies, large and small, to minimise the financial and organisational problems caused by both short-term and long-term employee absenteeism.
Employers can feel confident in working with BTPA members to provide regular Bowen Therapy treatments, on-site, or in our members' therapy clinics. Bowen Therapy can help in maintaining the health and well-being of employees, increasing efficiency, enhancing productivity and reducing the cost of sick pay.
There are many work scenarios where the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and/or emotional stress 'comes with the job'. For example:
- • Production line workers
- • Lifting, bending and stretching
- • Shelf-stackers
- • Computer and visual display unit operators
- • Jobs involving prolonged standing
- • Sales personnel
- • Jobs involving shoulders, arms, wrists and hands in repetitive actions for long hours
- • Operating under constant pressure to meet targets or driving long distances
- • Shop assistants
- • Work requiring employees to sit for long periods of time
- • Supervisor roles, Managers and Executives
- • Check-out staff
- • Office workers
- • Long hours and shift work causing stress
A cost-effective option for employers
Bowen Therapy has been widely used to help people with back pain, which is responsible for some 14 million working days lost every year in Britain.
Stress and mental health are now top causes of workplace absence. Bowen Therapy can be used to help stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which directly reduces work-related stress and anxiety. Case studies in health service workplaces have shown that Bowen sessions led to better sleep, energy, and overall morale, which translates to higher productivity.
Aches and pains can often be helped with a short course of Bowen Therapy treatment (e.g. 1–3 sessions), making it a time-efficient option for busy staff. Sessions can be performed onsite in 30-minute blocks, often through light clothing.
