WELLBEING FOR THE WORKPLACE RE-IMAGINED
POD Wellness, an innovative massage and wellbeing studio, launched in June 2020 with the mission to improve the health and happiness for people with on-the-go lifestyles offering accessible, affordable and convenient physical and mental therapies.
Using world-leading massage chair technology, paired with specialised meditation audio, POD clients can enjoy the stress-busting, immune-boosting, sleep-aiding, and pain-reducing benefi ts of regular massage for as little at £15 for 20 minutes - the equivalent of an hour with a therapist - all contact-free and covid-secure.
PODs innovative massage chairs offer a choice of nine therapeutic massage programmes, with technology that scans the shape and size of the individual, ensuring customers receive a tailored massage each and every time. You can discover a POD experience here.
RE-THINKING WELLBEING IN THE WORKPLACE
From fi rst-hand experience working in the corporate world, Alex, Founder and Director at POD Wellness Ltd, struggled to fi nd the time and money to relieve her back pain and stress. Instead, like many others, she simply put her health and mental wellbeing on the back-burner. Alex created POD to change that!
The HSE and National Statistics 2018 report for “Health and Safety at Work” makes for some eye-opening reading. In 2017/2018, 22 million work days were lost as a result of stress, anxiety, depression, and musculoskeletal disorders. This number accounts for 82% of all work-related ill health lost days!
The clinical-based evidence demonstrating the positive effects of massage is now well established. From reducing the stress hormone cortisol and promoting a stronger immune response, to relieving muscle tension and improving sleep. It should come as no surprise that organisations that have deployed massage in the workplace have increased productivity, reduced employee sick days, boosted morale, and attract top talent.
With POD’s offer focused on improving both physical and mental wellbeing, POD can help promote a healthier, happier, and more productive workforce, more relevant with Covid-19. As it is no longer viable to employ workplace massage therapists as a result of home -working, and with PODs zero-contact and flexible booking approach, POD is the ideal partner to support the health and wellbeing of your staff.
Relieving the stress of lockdown; releasing neck and shoulder pain for homeworkers; alleviating discomfort from chronic sciatic and fi bromyalgia; improving sleep quality as measured through a FitBit - POD has already helped improve the quality of people’s lives.
TESTIMONIALS
“Life and spine changing. I have terrible posture made worse from months of working from home. The ‘Spine’ option on medium worked out all of the accumulated stress and strains, completely exceeding my expectations. It rearranged me. I will be going back regularly. Very highly recommend.” Richie Maslin
