Vitality Training for Companies | Measurable Results in 4 Hours

Vitality at the workplace

prevent absenteeism & increase productivity

A healthy and vital team is the foundation of every successful company. Yet many organisations struggle with a growing issue: employees increasingly experience pain complaints, stress or fatigue. Back and neck pain, tense shoulders, headaches and low energy lead to reduced productivity and rising sick leave. The cost of a single day of absence can quickly run into hundreds of euros per employee, and long-term absence can cost an organisation thousands of euros.

At Pain Shift Academy we believe this can be different. With our vitality training for companies, employees learn in just 4 hours how to relieve their own complaints immediately and how to take responsibility for their own recovery and energy. No long trajectories, no online modules that never get finished, but a powerful on-site training delivering immediate results.

Why vitality is so important for your organisation

Vitality goes beyond just “being healthy”. It’s about the energy, resilience and motivation with which employees do their work. Companies that invest in vitality notice that their teams are more productive, creative and loyal.

Less sick leave & lower costs

A large part of absenteeism originates from physical complaints like back pain, RSI, headache or stress-related absence. Our training addresses these root causes. By teaching employees how to relieve their own pain and tension, the chance of long-term absence drops drastically. This yields direct savings in wage costs and replacement.

More energy & higher productivity

An employee who feels energetic and pain-free concentrates better, makes fewer mistakes and enjoys work more. That translates into higher productivity and better results for the organisation.

Sustainable employability

Organisations benefit from employees who are healthy and employable not just today, but also in five or ten years. With our training, employees receive practical tools they can use throughout their entire career. That makes the investment future-proof.

Improved employee satisfaction

Offering a vitality training shows that you as an employer care about your employees’ well-being. That increases loyalty and satisfaction, and helps retain talent in a competitive job market.

In summary: vitality is not a luxury, but a necessary investment that quickly pays off in less absence, more energy and a stronger organisation.

What makes the training from Pain Shift Academy unique?

Most vitality programmes stay stuck in superficial advice like “take a micro-break” or “sit up straight”. Our approach goes much further and gives employees immediate control over their own health.

Self-treatment of muscles and connective tissue

Employees learn to recognise and treat trigger points (muscle knots). With simple techniques they relieve their own pain in the neck, shoulders or back. The effect is often immediately noticeable, which keeps motivation high.

Movement and posture

We don’t provide typical ergonomics lessons, but show how simple adjustments in movement and posture can make a big difference. No expensive chairs or complex workstation modifications, just practical tips you can apply straight away.

Nutrition as fuel for recovery

What you eat directly affects how your body recovers and how you perceive pain. We give insight into nutritional choices that support recovery, without complicated diets. Small changes already lead to noticeable improvements in energy and focus.

Sleep and recovery

Many people underestimate the power of sleep. We show how sleep quality is linked to pain, stress and recovery. Employees receive tools to structurally improve their nightly rest.

Stress management and resilience

Stress is one of the largest causes of complaints and absence. Our training teaches employees simple techniques to regulate tension, relax better and become more resilient in challenging situations

Mindset and awareness

A healthy lifestyle begins with awareness. We teach employees to recognise their body’s signals and make better choices. This leads to sustainable behaviour change.

By combining self-treatment and lifestyle interventions, our training offers a full package that goes beyond standard vitality programmes.

What does the vitality training look like?

The training lasts one session of 4 hours and is held entirely on-site. This makes it accessible and easy to schedule into the workday.

Structure of the training:

  1. Introduction and awareness – understanding complaints, causes and the role of lifestyle.
  2. Self-treatment – practical techniques to immediately reduce pain.

With just 4 hours investment per employee you get huge impact. No long-term programmes or complicated setups, but quick and lasting results.
