Top 5 Benefits for Business

Alexander Technique For Business

Companies across the UK are benefitting with Alexander Technique

An Alexander Technique program can help reduce time off work and increase productivity by reducing back, neck, shoulder and arm pain. It also reduces costly work related injuries such as repetitive strain injuries and typing injuries (RSI and OOS).

Absenteeism at Victorinox (producers of Swiss Army Knives) was reduced by more than 42% due to an Alexander Technique program between 2002 – 2007. Educating employees on body awareness through the Alexander Technique had a dramatic impact on absenteeism.

For employees with back pain, a set of Alexander Technique sessions resulted in an 86% reduction in days in pain (from 21 days to just 3) and a set of just 6 Alexander Technique sessions followed by exercise was 72% as effective as this (Source: British Medical Journal, attached.)

Just look at the benefits of the Alexander Technique for your business:

  1. Reduce staff absence – absenteeism at Victorinox (1000 employees) fell by over 42% as a direct result of onsite Alexander Technique training.
  2. Ergonomically aware employees have less back and neck pain. A recent study funded by the NHS saw pain-days drop 86%. This can mean substantial savings for employers.
  3. Because I can come to your site with little or no equipment required, your employees can benefit straight away without having to leave the office.
  4. Your employees will of course be very grateful for your wellbeing strategy. Companies with a good wellbeing strategy tend to attract the best employees.
  5. A reduction in over-use injuries and RSI’s means fewer claims.

Don’t just take my word for it! Progressive companies such as these are already benefiting from Alexander Technique sessions:
