What is employee wellbeing

Posted on July 1, 2024

Nurturing Workplace Happiness: A Comprehensive Guide to Employee Wellbeing

Employee wellbeing is a multifaceted concept that encompasses the physical, mental, and social health of individuals within the workplace. Recognizing the importance of fostering a healthy work environment, companies are increasingly investing in employee wellbeing programs. In this article, we will explore the various dimensions of employee wellbeing and shed light on services, such as office massage, yoga & mindfulness, health checks, exercise at work, nutrition seminars, and in-house mobile physio clinics, that can be brought to the office to enhance the overall wellness of employees. Over 61 million working days are lost on average each and every year through muscular aches and pains and stress related issues. This is where livewell health can help bring a solution that can drastically reduce sickness and absenteeism.

Understanding Employee Wellbeing:

Employee wellbeing goes beyond the absence of illness; it encompasses the overall health, happiness, and engagement of individuals in their work environment. It is influenced by various factors, including physical health, mental and emotional wellness, work-life balance, and the organisational culture.

Bringing Wellness to the Office:

To promote employee wellbeing, companies are increasingly adopting on-site services that cater to the diverse needs of their workforce.

Massage Services:

On-site massage services, such as those offered by professional practitioners, can significantly contribute to employee wellbeing. Chair massages, within the office, in particular, provide a convenient and accessible way for employees to relax, reduce stress, and alleviate muscle tension during work hours.

Yoga and Mindfulness:

Incorporating yoga and mindfulness sessions into the workplace can enhance mental and emotional wellbeing. These practices help employees manage stress, improve focus, and foster a positive mindset, contributing to a more resilient and engaged workforce.

Health Checks:

Regular health checks conducted on-site enable employees to monitor their health status conveniently. These checks can cover a range of parameters, from blood pressure and cholesterol levels to overall fitness assessments, providing employees with valuable insights into their health and motivating them to make positive lifestyle choices.

Exercise at Work:

Promoting physical activity within the office setting is crucial for maintaining employee health. Simple initiatives, such as standing desks, walking meetings, or on-site fitness classes, encourage employees to incorporate movement into their daily routines.

Nutrition Seminars and Workshops:

Educating employees about healthy eating habits through on-site nutrition seminars and workshops helps them make informed choices that contribute to overall wellbeing. These sessions can address specific dietary needs and promote a culture of nutritional awareness within the organisation.

In-House Mobile Physio Clinics:

On-site physiotherapy clinics provide employees with easy access to musculoskeletal care. Offering services like ergonomic assessments and personalised exercise plans, these clinics contribute to the prevention and management of physical discomfort and injuries.

Subsidised Musculoskeletal Services:

To further support employee wellbeing, companies can extend their commitment by offering subsidised musculoskeletal services beyond the office. Providing access to physiotherapy, fitness, and massage services at home or in external clinics demonstrates a dedication to employee health beyond the workplace.

Conclusion:

Employee wellbeing is a holistic and ongoing commitment that extends beyond traditional benefits. By bringing services like massage, yoga, mindfulness, health checks, exercise at work, nutrition seminars, and in-house mobile physio clinics to the office, companies can create a culture that prioritises the health and happiness of their employees. The ability to extend subsidised musculoskeletal services beyond the workplace underlines a comprehensive approach to employee wellbeing, fostering a positive and supportive work environment.

Tailoring Health Benefits: A Personalized Approach with LiveWell Health Services

Recognizing Employee Diversity:

Each employee is unique, with distinct needs, preferences, and health considerations. As workplaces become more diverse, the one-size-fits-all approach to employee benefits is no longer sufficient. Recognizing and embracing this diversity allows companies to enhance their employees’ overall well being and job satisfaction.

Chair Massage:

LiveWell Health’s chair massage service offers a flexible and tailored solution to cater to the diverse needs of employees. Whether it’s to alleviate stress, reduce muscle tension, or simply take a break from work, chair massages can be personalised to suit individual preferences. Chair massage can also be used in all commercial settings from offices through to warehouses. Some companies that have the right space can opt for couch massage services too. By offering this service, companies acknowledge the varied wellbeing requirements of their workforce.

Health Checks:

Implementing health checks as part of employee benefits enables companies to address specific health concerns and provide targeted support. LiveWell Health’s health checks offer a comprehensive assessment of employees’ health status, allowing organisations to tailor wellness programs and interventions based on individual needs. This personalised approach fosters a culture of proactive health management within the workplace. It is all encompassing where our specialists will look at body fat and bmi readings through weight checks, blood pressure checks, finger prick blood testing for vitamins and mineral deficiencies as well as food intolerances and allergy testing.

Yoga and Mindfulness:

Understanding that employees have different stressors and coping mechanisms, LiveWell Health’s yoga and mindfulness sessions can be customised to cater to various preferences. Some employees may benefit more from energetic yoga sessions, while others may find mindfulness practices more suitable. This flexibility allows organisations to provide diverse options that resonate with the unique needs of their workforce.

Nutrition Advice:

Nutrition plays a huge role now within our day to day lives. With so many people and companies offering advice which a lot of the time is totally incorrect and in some cases will actually harm us long term, LiveWell are taking a stand. Our no mess, scientifically back nutrition seminars and workshops are performed by highly qualified nutritionists. We offer advice to employees with varying dietary requirements and preferences. By offering personalised nutritional guidance, companies empower employees to make informed choices that align with their individual health goals. This not only contributes to improved physical health but also supports overall employee satisfaction and engagement.

The Business Case for Personalized Health Benefits:

Investing in personalised health benefits goes beyond meeting regulatory requirements; it makes good business sense. Companies that prioritise employee wellbeing experience increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and higher levels of job satisfaction. Personalised employee health benefits are an investment in the long-term success and sustainability of the organisation.

Conclusion:

The need for personalised health plans and benefits, tailored to your employees has become increasingly important. Workforces now are diverse in so many ways and as such companies need a flexible, fluid approach to their employee benefits offering. Here at LIVEWELL one size definitely doesn’t fit all and within our range of services we can provide you with the help and support you need to put in place a robust and proactive employee wellbeing initiative. LiveWell Health’s services, including chair massage, health checks, yoga and mindfulness, and nutrition advice, offer companies the tools to tailor their wellness programs to the unique needs of each employee.

Nerve Impingement

Posted on July 1, 2024

Nerve impingement, also known as nerve compression or pinched nerve, is a condition in which a nerve is compressed or constricted, leading to pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling sensations in the affected area. This can occur in various parts of the body, including the neck, back, arms, and legs.
The pathology of nerve impingement involves pressure or constriction on the nerve, which can be caused by a variety of factors, such as injury, repetitive motions, poor posture, or degenerative conditions like arthritis. This pressure can lead to irritation and inflammation of the nerve, which can cause pain and other symptoms.
The occurrence of nerve impingement is quite common, especially as people age and degenerative changes occur in the spine. It can also be seen in people who perform repetitive motions or maintain poor posture for extended periods of time. Additionally, nerve impingement can result from injuries, such as whiplash or a herniated disc, or from conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome or sciatica.

Anatomy

The human nervous system is comprised of a complex network of nerves that run throughout the body, transmitting signals between the brain and various tissues and organs. Nerves are made up of axons, which carry electrical signals, and are surrounded by a layer of protective tissue called myelin. Nerves can be affected by a variety of factors, including compression, entrapment, inflammation, and injury.

Symptoms

The symptoms of nerve impingement can vary depending on the location and severity of the impingement. Common symptoms may include pain, numbness, tingling, burning, or a feeling of pins and needles. In severe cases, nerve impingement can lead to muscle weakness, loss of sensation, and difficulty with movement.

Causes

Nerve impingement can be caused by a variety of factors, including physical trauma, repetitive motions, poor posture, and underlying medical conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and nerve disorders. Other common causes of nerve impingement include spinal stenosis, herniated discs, and degenerative conditions such as spinal cord injuries.

People who are at a higher risk of developing nerve impingement include:

Individuals with certain medical conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, or other conditions that can cause nerve damage or inflammation.
Athletes and physically active individuals who engage in repetitive motions, such as running, cycling, or weightlifting, which can put stress on the nerves.
People who have a sedentary lifestyle and spend long hours sitting or working in positions that can put pressure on the nerves, such as office workers or truck drivers.
Individuals with a family history of nerve impingement, as this may suggest a genetic predisposition to the condition.
People who have suffered a previous injury, such as a fracture or dislocation, that may have damaged the nerves.

Diagnosis

The diagnosis of nerve impingement is typically based on a review of medical history, a physical examination, and diagnostic imaging tests such as MRI or CT scans. Nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG) tests can also be used to help diagnose nerve impingement and determine the severity of the injury.

It is important to note that while anyone can develop nerve impingement, early detection and proper treatment can greatly reduce the risk of developing long-term complications and help ensure a full recovery.

Treatment

Here are some of the treatment options for nerve impingement:

Rest: Resting the affected area can help reduce inflammation and give the nerve time to heal. You may need to avoid activities that aggravate your symptoms, such as heavy lifting, repetitive motions, or prolonged sitting or standing.

Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help improve your strength, flexibility, and posture, which can relieve pressure on the affected nerve. Your physical therapist may recommend exercises, stretches, or other techniques to help alleviate your symptoms.

Medications: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain associated with nerve impingement. In some cases, corticosteroids may be prescribed to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms.

Injections: In some cases, injections of corticosteroids or other medications may be given directly into the affected area to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms.

Surgery: If conservative treatments are not effective, or if nerve impingement is causing significant weakness or loss of function, surgery may be recommended. The type of surgery will depend on the location and severity of the compression and may involve removing bone or tissue to relieve pressure on the affected nerve.

Lifestyle changes: Making lifestyle changes can help prevent or alleviate nerve impingement. This may include maintaining good posture, staying active, avoiding repetitive motions, and avoiding activities that put excessive strain on your nerves.

Exercises

Exercises to help relieve nerve impingement and prevent further damage may include:

Stretching: Gentle stretching exercises can help relieve pressure on the nerves and improve flexibility in the affected area.
Strengthening exercises: Targeting the muscles surrounding the affected nerve can help relieve pressure and prevent further damage.
Posture correction: Paying attention to posture and correcting any imbalances can help reduce stress on the nerves.
Aerobic exercises: Engaging in low-impact aerobic activities, such as swimming or walking, can help improve blood flow to the affected area and promote healing.
Yoga or Pilates: Gentle yoga or Pilates can help improve flexibility and strengthen the muscles surrounding the affected nerve.

It is important to consult with a doctor or physical therapist before beginning any exercise program, as they can help determine which exercises are best for your individual needs and ensure proper form and technique.

Prevention

Maintain Correct Posture:

Be mindful of your posture, especially when sitting or standing for long periods. Maintain a neutral spine position to reduce unnecessary stress on the spine and nerves.

Ergonomics:

Ensure that your workspace, whether at a desk or using electronic devices, is ergonomically designed to support good posture. Use supportive chairs, maintain eye-level screens, and take regular breaks to avoid prolonged periods of the same position.

Regular Exercise:

Engage in regular physical activity to strengthen the muscles that support the spine. Focus on exercises that promote core strength and flexibility, as a strong and flexible spine is less prone to nerve compression.

Correct Lifting Techniques:

When lifting objects, use proper lifting techniques to avoid putting excessive strain on the spine. Bend at the knees, keep the back straight, and lift with the legs rather than the back.

Weight Management:

Maintain a healthy weight to reduce the load on the spine. Excess body weight can contribute to conditions like herniated discs and spinal stenosis, increasing the risk of nerve impingement.

Stay Hydrated:

Hydration is essential for maintaining the elasticity of spinal discs. Dehydration can contribute to disc degeneration, which may increase the risk of nerve compression.

Avoid Repetitive Stress:

Be mindful of repetitive movements or activities that can strain specific nerves. If your work or hobbies involve repetitive motions, take breaks and incorporate stretching exercises to reduce the risk of overuse injuries.

Regular Stretching:

Include regular stretching exercises in your routine to maintain flexibility and prevent muscle imbalances. Focus on stretches that target the muscles around the spine, including the neck, back, and hips.

Quit Smoking:

Smoking has been associated with increased disc degeneration and reduced blood flow to spinal structures. Quitting smoking can contribute to overall spine health.

Proper Nutrition:

Maintain a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients, as proper nutrition supports the health of spinal structures. Calcium and vitamin D are particularly important for bone health.

Regular Check-ups:

Schedule regular check-ups with your healthcare provider to monitor your spine health. Early detection and management of spinal conditions can help prevent the progression to nerve impingement.

Enhancing Self-Defence Through Posture and Vocalisation

Posted on June 15, 2024

Walk This Way, Talk This Way: Enhancing Self-Defence Through Posture and Vocalisation

In today’s fast-paced world, many of us are glued to our phones, even while walking in public. However, this habit can significantly reduce our self-awareness and make us more vulnerable to crime. Studies have shown that people engrossed in their phones are more likely to be targeted for theft, particularly phone grabs, which are on the rise in the UK. Victims often report that these incidents happen incredibly quickly, primarily because their attention is diverted and their awareness of their surroundings is compromised.

In addition to distraction, body language plays a crucial role in vulnerability. Individuals who appear lost, scared, or unsure tend to attract unwanted attention. This so-called “teenage posture”—characterised by hunched shoulders, downward gaze, and hands in pockets—signals insecurity and makes one an easier target.

To enhance personal safety, one of the first and most vital steps in self-defence is to improve posture and vocalisation. Walking with confidence and purpose can significantly impact how others perceive you. Here are some key strategies to consider:

Posture and Awareness

Walk with Confidence: Adopt an upright posture with your shoulders back and head held high. This not only projects confidence but also indicates that you are aware of your surroundings.
Stay Off Your Phone: While it’s tempting to scroll through your phone, especially during mundane tasks like walking, it’s crucial to remain vigilant. Keeping your phone in your pocket or bag allows you to focus on what’s happening around you.
Limit Earbud Use: If you must use earbuds, keep one ear free. This ensures you can hear what’s happening in your environment, from approaching footsteps to potential warnings.

Vocalization as a Defense Tool

Using your voice effectively is another powerful self-defence tactic. Attackers prefer easy targets and situations where they can operate unnoticed. By being loud and vocal, you can draw attention to yourself and potentially deter an attack.

Be Loud and Clear: If you feel threatened, don’t hesitate to raise your voice. Shout assertive statements like “I SAID NO!” or “LEAVE ME ALONE!” This can be especially effective in public spaces or workplaces where others can hear you and come to your aid.
Create a Scene: Most attackers do not want attention. By making a scene, you increase the chances that they will flee to avoid drawing the interest of passersby or authorities.

Combining Posture and Vocalization

The combination of confident posture and vocal assertiveness forms the cornerstone of effective self-defence. Here’s how you can integrate these elements:

Walk with Purpose: Even if you’re not sure where you’re going, walk as though you have a destination in mind. This reduces the likelihood of appearing vulnerable.
Stay Aware: Continuously scan your environment. Make eye contact with people around you to signal that you are alert and aware.
Use Your Voice: Practise shouting phrases that you can use if you ever feel threatened. The louder and more assertive you are, the more likely you are to deter an attacker.

In conclusion, enhancing self-defence involves more than just physical techniques. By adopting a confident posture and using your voice effectively, you can significantly reduce your risk of being targeted. Stay off your phone, remain aware of your surroundings, and be prepared to make noise if necessary. Remember, confidence and vocal assertiveness are your best tools in staying safe.
