In the Corporate Wellness programs we run for various companies, the most common complaint isn't sports injury, but neck, shoulder, and lower back pain from poor sitting posture and long stretches of static work.
A one-day chair massage or posture screening session is often the starting point, many employees only realize their posture is a problem once a physiotherapist explains it in person, not from an education poster nobody reads.
Programs that run longer than a day (monthly or ongoing) let physiotherapists give simple stretching exercises that can be done at a desk, tailored to each individual's specific complaint, not one generic program for everyone.
The benefit isn't just employee comfort, untreated musculoskeletal pain contributes to lower productivity and sick leave. Investing in a preventive wellness program is directly tied to fewer lost workdays.
