Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are one of the main causes of disability in the workplace. The WHO promotes the prevention of these disorders through regular physical activity.
In the context of workplace health, companies need to encourage their employees to get moving regularly, especially those in sedentary occupations.
Muscle-strengthening and stretching exercises help prevent back, neck and shoulder pain, linked to prolonged posture in front of a screen or repetitive movements.
By incorporating active breaks, stretching sessions or workplace wellness programs, companies can help reduce RSI, while improving employee comfort and satisfaction.
Improved posture, combined with good physical activity, reduces the risk of sick leave linked to these pains, and promotes the longevity of employees in their jobs.
Promoting solutions to prevent MSDs therefore becomes a key element of workplace health strategy.
