Course programme for more movement in the office

"Isa - trainer" provides the first low-threshold access to exercise programs based on sports science for employees with acute complaints or as a preventative measure.
An employee sits at his desk with a pain-filled face, holding his back because of back pain.
Everyone knows it - nobody becomes active

Back pain is the single most common diagnosis

Around 2/3 of employees suffer frequently or occasionally from back or neck pain.

The most common causes are desk work with poor ergonomics & too little movement or weak muscles. Despite the high prevalence, only 15% take sick leave. A high number of unreported cases continue to work with less concentration and less resilience. Very few people have the time to take the usual route of attending time-consuming exercise courses at health centers or physiotherapists.

Time-saving & work-friendly

«Isa – trainer» finally creates perspectives for those affected.

Low-threshold course programs for everyday working life

Employees can address their respective complaints during work by taking part in various courses. In 3 daily sessions with 3 exercises each, all causes are specifically addressed within two weeks. 

The sessions follow a health science treatment approach and build on each other. They are suitable for beginners and only take a few minutes a day. 

Carried out once a year, "Isa - trainer" keeps the spine and muscles fit and prevents further complaints - without any additional time expenditure.  

An employee stands in front of her desk, on which there is a laptop, decoration, water, fruit and an Isa. A movement exercise is played on the Isa and the young woman imitates this movement exercise. She has one arm above her head and bends down to one side.

An impressively effective tool for significantly more ergonomics at VDU workstations. When fully concentrating on the activity, it is a real help when the attention to one's own sitting posture is taken over by the Isa. This is clearly matched by the positive feedback from our employees. A valuable enrichment!

Flexible, location-independent and individual - Isa is in tune with the times and has a wide reach, rarely has an offer been booked up so quickly. Our employees are thrilled!

Frequently asked questions about exercise in the office

Regular movement in the office is important to compensate for the lack of physical activity that is often associated with long periods of sitting. Regular movement in the office can relieve tension and improve blood circulation. This not only increases productivity, but also general well-being and concentration. Ergonomic adjustments and small sports sessions in the office promote a dynamic way of working that supports long-term health.

Office sports include simple exercises that can be performed in the office to stretch and strengthen the body and improve posture. Regular exercise breaks directly at your desk or short sports sessions during your lunch break can reduce tension and the pressure on muscles and joints caused by prolonged sitting. 

It's even more fun when colleagues join in. 

There are many simple exercises that are good for movement at work. Some of the best include neck and shoulder stretches, wrist and back exercises and short standing exercises to promote blood circulation. Ergonomic exercises to improve posture are also important to reduce the effects of prolonged sitting.

You can find a few simple example exercises in our Whitepaper on back & neck training.

It is recommended to take a short break every 30 to 60 minutes. Active breaks to take a break. Just a few minutes of light physical activity - such as stretching exercises or a short walk - can help to relieve tension and stimulate circulation. This promotes a dynamic and healthy way of working.

A dynamic way of working, in which you regularly switch between different positions, promotes physical activity and prevents the negative effects of prolonged sitting. It reduces the risk of back and neck tension. It also promotes mental alertness and increases productivity.

Lack of physical activity in the workplace can lead to a variety of health problems, including back and neck pain, poor posture, reduced flexibility and muscle tension. In the long term, a lack of physical activity can also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders. It is therefore important to walk a few steps during breaks, avoid the lift and also do small exercises during work.

We often forget to pay attention to our sitting position, take short breaks and exercise during our focus times. Sport in our free time is also often neglected. With Isa, movement can be integrated into everyday office life as if it were completely normal. The real-time displays help you to sit dynamically. The suggested exercise programmes promote healthy routines and keep you fit and balanced. Taking breaks at the right time keeps your mind fresh and makes you more productive.

Thanks for dropping by! We look forward to seeing you again at the expert panel.
