Ditch the quick fixes. Build movement knowledge, skills and habits for life.
Help your people learn how to sit, stand, walk and move well — and manage daily pain better.
Is daily pain really impacting your work life? For most teams, quietly, yes.
Working at a desk
Our bodies start to take on the shape of the position we spend the most time in. Learn to move more and move well. Creating movement permissible environments where people proactively move together - prioritising their body and mind.
Working in physically repetitive jobs
Know what to do daily to maintain physical health and create a resilient body for those jobs in teaching, health care, hospitality, production - where you rely on your body to literally get you through your day.
Pain is the top reason people miss work
Musculoskeletal pain is a leading cause of workplace absence and presenteeism. It rarely arrives suddenly; it accumulates until it becomes incredibly costly to put right.
Nobody was ever shown how
Backs, necks, shoulders and hips don't need treatment as much as they need better understanding and daily maintenance habits.
From quick fixes to habits that last a career.
Until now physical health interventions treat the symptoms often when it's too late. The pain comes back because nothing about the working day is changed - the environment and culture needs to change too.
PHFA does the opposite. We teach your people how their body actually works, what good alignment feels like, and how to maintain it themselves — at a desk, on a site, on the move.
The result is a workforce that can spot and fix the poor basic movement patterns that cause pain, long before it becomes an absence.
What we teach
Movement know-how
All the things you need to know about how your body moves that were missed from your education. Once your people understand cause and effect, they stop guessing and start correcting - and they feel in control.
Alignment
How to sit, stand, lift and carry with the body stacked properly. Observing and recognising individual movement patterns that often go unnoticed - but are commonly at the core of daily discomfort.
Daily maintenance
Identifying basic moves that can be woven into your day that give your body what it needs to remain resilient in the role that you do and the life you want to live.
Why it matters for your business
MSK pain drives absence, and it drives the quieter cost too: people at their desks working at half capacity, people in active jobs suffering accumulating discomfort and pain symptoms. Teams who understand their own bodies take fewer sick days, have better mental health, enjoy their jobs more and stay in them longer.
