The Canadian Policy Research Network estimates that stress-related absences cost employers about $3.5 Billion each year. __ Statistics Canada

Every workplace is a source of stress, tension and chaos (although in differing degrees). The reality is that these are unavoidable and, if not managed, can result in angry employees, strained relationships, low productivity, wasted dollars and illness.

We can’t change the culture by trying to deal with the chaos and stress on a macro level, instead we need to teach people to manage their stress on their own. People need to learn how to recognize their own habits, responses and reactions and have tools to handle the workload, diverse personalities and family stress.

Why are we talking about this?

The Laughing Buddha offers a unique program that allows companies to tackle these issues on an individual level. Assisting people in reducing their stress so they are able to approach their work and relationships from a calm and balanced place.

What we do?

• We provide an On-Site Shiatsu program in your workplace and you provide us with a space (such as an empty office) to carry out our treatments
• We tailor our program to your needs, working with your team to discover how often we come to your office and the length of the treatments
• We teach you and your employees effective tools to help you deal with the stress at work and at home
• We teach simple exercises, stretches and workstation solutions to reduce the physical stress that accompanies office environments

Why Invest in this Program?

• Shiatsu alleviates most of the conditions that contribute to stress and reduce productivity such as:
  
  Anxiety and Depression, Neck and Shoulder Pain, Back Pain, Headaches, Insomnia, Repetitive Strain Injuries, Digestive Problems, Fatigue

• Unlike massage, our patients remain clothed during the treatment and we do not use oils or lotions - making this a simple way to provide physical therapy to your employees in the workplace
