The programme

Strong Back Team

Three steps that build on each other: first the starting point, then the training, then the routine. You can begin with the workshop and decide afterwards.

Who is it for?

For healthy employees who want to prevent problems or have only occasional back complaints. Anyone with chronic, inflammatory or unexplained acute problems should get medical advice first. The programme is prevention and does not replace therapy.

Funding and health insurers

German health insurers support companies with workplace health promotion under § 20b SGB V. Support is agreed individually with the insurer. I’m happy to help you make the request.
