Reduce Stress in the workplace

Although stress tolerance varies amongst individuals the factors that can induce stress remain similar for most people. If not resolved, stress causes dis - ease / illness and consequently absence from work. By incorporating well being services within your company, you can significantly reduce the chances of your employees being affected by long term stress induced illness.

Relaxation Therapy

Relaxation Therapy broadly refers to techniques that focus the mind and promote a state of calmness so that the mind and body can be brought into greater harmony to facilitate health and healing. It can involve any of a variety of approaches that use breathing and other techniques to achieve a deep state of relaxation, improve concentration, and to become attuned to ones inner self. Put simply, relaxation therapy is a means of focusing the mind to reduce or to eliminate conscious thought, thus balancing the internal self with the external self.

Entering a state of deep relaxation allows concentration to achieve a higher state of consciousness and inner reflection. It has been proven to be highly effective in stress management and in overcomingpsychological crises. When practiced regularly it is a very helpful tool to assist in improving health, wellbeing, relationships and quality of life.

Reducing Staff Sickness

I recently facilitated a regular lunchtime relaxation group just once a week, in a workplace within the City of Edinburgh Council. Feedback from those who attended, following just 8 weekly sessions indicated the following levels of improvement:

     Ability to cope with stress     71%
     Concentration                      57%
     Sleep quality                        57%
     Increase in immunity            28%
     Motivation                            43%
     Reduced levels of anxiety      28%
     Confidence                          14%
     Memory                               28%
     Mood                                   85%
     Tolerance                            28%
     Negative habits                    14%

Thus the benefits that your staff will gain from regular Relaxation Therapy will have a positive effect on your company. Staff will be more relaxed, motivated and confident. Creativity and concentration on tasks in hand will be improved and ultimately staff will be less likely to develop ill health resulting in improved attendance and productivity - and ultimately a happier team.

What do River Therapies offer..........

I am qualified, certificated and insured in Professional Relaxation Therapy. I operate a small business offering Complementary Therapies including Relaxation Therapy both individual and corporate.

What I offer in the workplace setting is Group Relaxation. A group Relaxation Therapy session can accommodate up to 10 people at one sitting and is of 35minutes duration – including a brief introduction. Participants simply sit in a chair and relax. I use guided visualisation with background music to enable participants to achieve a state of deep relaxation. This takes about 15 minutes. This is followed by 15 minutes of deep relaxation with the music.

* Participants then feel totally relaxed and ready to continue with their days work. * Participants also report having a good night sleep following the relaxation and state that they feel less fazed by any issues that would normally be a cause of stress to them. Many also reported that they had a more constructive afternoons work following the session.

* Evidenced in evaluation of relaxation group within City of Edinburgh Council workplace.

I can be hired for a minimum period of 1 hour – 1 Relaxation Group plus setting up time and down time, up to a full day. A full day would enable me to facilitate up to 7 groups – approximately one per hour allowing time to set up and a short break in between each group.

With regard to resources, all that I require is the use of a room with enough chairs for all the participants.
