The impact of stress in the workplace can be far reaching with over 11 million working days lost to stress in 2015/2016 (AoR, 2017). Long term studies have indicated links between stress and chronic conditions such as anxiety, depression, heart disease and musculoskeletal problems. In Denmark, studies have shown that offering workplace reflexology has reduced absenteeism and sick days as well as increasing wellbeing, motivation and satisfaction within the workplace.
Indian head massage and reflexology are complementary therapies that have been practiced since ancient times in China, India and Egypt.
