Providing people with self-help tools forms a fundamental part of our philosophy at FixMe. The number of home workers in the UK is growing substantially.
In response to your requests to learn the basics of body/healthcare and to assist home workers in setting up their workstations correctly thereby reducing the risk of RSI, we have designed a one-day workshop.
The following areas are covered in the one day workshop:
Posture
Are you sitting slumped on the computer whilst reading this?

We use different techniques to help you correct your posture |
|
Stretches
Does it hurt to stretch out?
 |
We teach you to STRETCH correctly and create your own individual stretches |
|
Massage
Do you have TIGHT AND SORE spots in your MUSCLES? Feel your hands, arms, neck and shoulders – are there sore spots?
|
We teach you the basics of self and partner massage, together with simple muscle release techniques, enabling you to manage your own health |

Stres Management
