Health First offers a Corporate Health program to help separate your workplace from the rest. Studies show anywhere from 29-39% of absenteeism is a result of musculoskeletal disorders.

The concerns that result from sedentary workplaces have been shown to most prominently include neck and lower back injuries. These conditions and occurrences of pain usually result from weak, underused muscles and poor posture. These issues can be addressed through targeted exercise intervention focusing on strengthening and stretching of relevant musculature.

Health First’s Corporate Health Program aims to prevent occurrences of pain and injury in the workplace whilst also being rehabilitative for currently injured employees. The results speak for themselves with studies showing a more than 50% decrease in absenteeism for low back pain related concerns, for employees who began performing a weekly exercise program. This reduction in sick leave occurred in under 50 days. For employees who didn’t participate in the exercise program, their time spent absent from work increased.
