Psychological benefits

Relaxed Approach Workplace programs include cognitive self interventions, to identify the source of stress prone thinking patterns. Raising the participant’s awareness of stress prone thinking patterns, its effect and empowering them to make positive well being choices. This positive choice in the individual results in improved well being, greater concentration, creativity and job satisfaction. Absenteeism is reduced, teamwork is strengthened which flows onto greater productivity from the individual and the collective team.

Physical Health benefits

When the body is under constant job stress our bodies systems are either sped up or slowed down. Continual and unresolved sources of stress can lead to or exacerbate: cardiovascular disease, hypertension, insomnia, digestive disorders such as stomach ulcers and irritable bowl

syndrome, reduction in immunity resulting in greater vulnerability to bacteria, virus and carcinogens. Reducing harmful stress reduces the added burden of stress from our bodies systems, allowing our bodies systems to be able to work as intended in a healing and regenerative way, feeling well and healthy, feeling great and ready to be your best.

Muscular & Skeletal benefits

Another feature of Relaxed Approach programs is to teach individuals relaxation techniques that realistically suit their jobs and lifestyle. Stress causes tension in muscles, when this is not relieved and the stress continues or increases, the tension in the muscles greatens and often the tightness and tension spreads to the surrounding or supporting muscles. Other muscles can become overused and strained as compensation for the initial tense muscles. This often effects posture and can result in problems with the lower back, neck and shoulder areas, particularly with those who spend many hours at a desk. Relaxed Approach programs teach individuals techniques to reduce or release this tension, simply and easily, without even having to leave their workstation. They will become more mindful of the tension starting in their bodies and activate their relaxation plan to stop this increasing or becoming a problem.
