Corporate Health Programs
Sick days off work – the statistics.
The health of your employees dictates the health of your business. In Jersey stress related illness and musculoskeletal problems are one of the most significant factors associated to absence from work.
Each year stress related illness in jersey accounts for:
- Approximately 5000 working days lost
- An average of 45 days per claim
This length of absence has a big impact on both the employee and the employer. Work related stress is under-reported and can greatly impact work productivity and outcomes. (1)
In the UK musculoskeletal problems (including back pain, neck and upper limb problems) accounted for 30.8 million days sick leave from work in 2016. (2)

Why Acupuncture?
Certain acupuncture points have been shown to affect areas of the brain that are known to reduce sensitivity to pain and stress, as well as promoting relaxation and deactivating the ‘analytical’ brain, which is responsible for anxiety (3).

1. Recover - with a support and evidence-based step-by-step personalised treatment plan to suit their own personal health goals.
