Hi & Welcome to Coben’s Wellness Wednesday!
Coben has recognised that the needs of our team have changed dramatically since the Pandemic.
Between the adapting of lockdown and working from home, to back into the office and for some, a split between the two, the toil over the past couple of years is not just segmented to health but overall wellbeing, the physical & the emotional.
Today we have added a new experience for our team, and we wanted to share just what today is about for us all.
Hot Stones Back Massage -20 mins of a physical massage for each team member but with the emotional release that comes with this.
The experience is in work time during work hours in a private room set up for utter relaxation (or for some the elbow in those tighter muscles)
Why the massage? The switch between chairs and posture from the home to the office has impacted neck and back muscles, even if not realised at the time. Combine with the post covid, stress of the times including the recent inflation concerns along with general work and home life means this is massage is a crucial benefit.
Even a brief 20 min hot stones back massage can give the below results:
Relieves Muscle Tension & Pain
Reduced Stress and Anxiety due to the endorphins released
Promotes sleep
Boosts immunity
Relieves Symptoms of auto immune diseases
And many more
Some of our team were naturally nervous and sceptical on just what this brief moment could do for them. However, the feedback has been resounding.
The massages were tailored to their personal needs, and not just the instant physical relief but the calm, happiness that is now in our office is such a joy to witness.
Everyone is focused on their work, but the weight seems to have lifted off their shoulders, not just physically but in their communication with each other and the clinicians and clients we support. I know they will carry this emotional freedom home to benefit their families tonight.
Coben has committed to this once a month for the foreseeable future and I know each and every one of the team cannot wait for their next : -)
