Every day, millions of us run the risk of living life in chronic pain. Not through demanding sports and hobbies like rugby or horse riding, but simply by going to work and sitting down at a computer for hours at a time.

How our working environment is set up plays a massive part in our physical health – so much so that workstation assessments and solutions are now a Health and Safety requirement for all employers in the UK. Can you support your staff in managing problems when they occur?
