We help businesses reduce sickness costs by fixing pain in desk workers.

Every sick day costs you £120. A wellness day costs you £50 per head.

A team without pain performs without limits.

ONS recorded that UK businesses lost 148 million working days to sickness last year. Two of the biggest causes are musculoskeletal problems and stress — the exact things we fix.

The hidden cost

You're already paying for this problem.

Musculoskeletal disorders — bad backs, stiff necks, tight shoulders — are one of the UK's leading causes of sick leave. Every day your team is absent, struggling through pain, or disengaged is a direct cost to your business. Most employers absorb it without realising how much it adds up.

Fewer sick days

Employees whose physical discomfort is addressed take less unplanned leave — keeping your team present and productive.

Better output

Staff who aren't working through pain perform better. Reduced discomfort has a direct and measurable impact on focus and energy.

Higher retention

Investing in your team's wellbeing signals that you care — reducing turnover and improving how your company is perceived as an employer.

What makes us different

Two experts. One powerful day.

Most wellness days offer one thing. We bring two specialists — working together — to deliver the kind of results that actually stick.

Sports Massage Therapist

A fully qualified sports massage therapist delivers hands-on sessions targeting neck, shoulder, and back tension — the exact areas desk workers suffer most. Sessions are tailored to each individual based on a quick pre-session consultation.

  • Targeted relief for chronic tension
  • Pain scored before and after every session
  • Professional clinical notes kept on file

Personal Trainer

While massage sessions are underway, our personal trainer runs short group stretch and movement classes throughout the day. These are designed specifically for desk-based teams — practical, energising, and easy to repeat independently.

  • Short, energising stretch sessions
  • Movements employees can do at their desk daily
  • Builds lasting habits, not just a one-day fix

The result? Staff who call in sick less.

Treated pain. Better movement habits. A team that feels looked after. The combination delivers outcomes you can measure — and a culture your employees notice.
