#1 Move@Work and NHS Article

A pilot study was put in place for 5 months, where only stretching was used. Sessions of 10/15 min were conducted 2 to 3 times a week. In which an average of 19 staff was engaging with the sessions. A continuous demand from the staff was found, but unfortunately due to resources and work capacity It had to stop. But it was shown to be very helpful and made staff engage into the project.
 
The result were published in NHS GSTT September's Community Newsletter.

Volunteering

During the pandemic, my NHS colleagues were showing absurd levels of pressure by me seeing my NHS colleagues, so I volunteer to give them chair massage sessions through two months with weekly sessions, so I could incorporate staff wellbeing in the service.
 
A back, shoulder, neck and arm massage routine was performed as a way to reduce their muscular tensions and accumulated stress, as most of then were passing various hours sitting at a desk and looking at a screen or their were involved on activities with difficult and repetitive moving and handling.

"Chair Yoga"

After two and half years of breaks between carer progressions, I manage to increase my knowledgeable on the Concept of Labour Gymnastic and have been developing it even further. On my new position I was given the opportunity to trial the concept for 4 session to the Physiotherapy Team (12 people in total) that I am working with.

So in June 2021 the proposal was presented and for 4 sessions I used the concept to see how my colleagues how reacted to it. An average attendees of 5.5 with an average time of the session of 8 min.

The feedback was very positive, where is was highlighted that the proposal was: "Team building opportunity and a chance to warm up before work" ; "Opportunity to prioritize wellbeing. Virtual component made it easy & practical to join. Short session that is easy to fit into your day" ; "Being shown how to do exercise to support with Back, neck issue as well as being able to do at the beginning of the day while at work."
