Unplugged Physio (UP): Workshops for Schools and Workplaces

---

We’re in a posture pandemic.

Screens are winning. Backs, necks, and shoulders are paying the price.

I teach simple, daily movement habits that protect bodies in a world built for sitting, slouching, and staring down.

Just like brushing your teeth, a couple of simple exercises a day can prevent years of pain. 

I help guide employees and pupils to:

• Reduce pain, stiffness, and fatigue
• Improve focus and energy
• Prevent injuries before they happen
• Move better at their desks, not just after a day of work/school

I offer workstation assessments to help employees set up their desks safely and comfortably. Many people work on laptops placed too low and from poorly fitting chairs or cluttered desks —positions that quietly overload the neck, back, and shoulders over time. I guide employees through simple, practical adjustments to their setup so their workspace supports their body rather than not working against it. 

Assessments include DSE analysis checks, bespoke adjustments to current equipment and set up, a report with recommendations and strategies to guide individuals on how to prevent work-related pain/issues. Assessments can be done in person in your home/work or remotely.

When I’m on-site, I can also run clinical Pilates sessions for employees. These sessions focus on teaching effective breathing, stability, and simple mobility exercises designed to support the body through daily desk demands. Just as we brush our teeth every day to prevent decay, the movements I teach help maintain the health of the spine and joints—reducing pain, improving resilience, and keeping the body working well over time.

For Schools I help students:

• Build body awareness early
• Prevent neck, back, and shoulder pain
• Learn simple exercises they can do anywhere
• Develop habits that last a lifetime
• All delivered via tailored assemblies, small group sessions, with follow up support for parents & guardians

Healthy bodies learn better.

I also deliver sport-specific workshops in schools, tailored to the needs of individual teams—whether that’s rowing, football, tennis, or more. Sessions cover effective warm-ups and cool-downs, injury-prevention screening, and movement strategies that can improve performance. For first teams, the focus is on moving faster, stronger, and more efficiently—so athletes stay on the field and gain the edge they need to win.

Rebecca came into our office to run a Pilates session focused on stretching and posture, and it was a huge hit with the whole team. Everyone really enjoyed the session and came away with simple, practical exercises they can easily build into their day. Rebecca then carried out individual ergonomic assessments, looking at each person’s chair, desk, screen and keyboard setup, and made thoughtful adjustments to optimise comfort and posture. The ergonomic element was incredibly valuable — it directly led us to invest in better chairs and reposition workstations, and it’s made the team much more aware of how we sit and work throughout the day. Rebecca also followed up with clear exercise videos and sensible chair recommendations that were practical and not overpriced, which made it easy for us to take action. A really worthwhile experience with an immediate and lasting impact.

My daughter would say I'm very boring to get so excited about my new desk set-up.

Becca was shocked when she came to visit and spotted me on a bar stool at my desk working on my laptop.
Apparently that is a BIG no no
One of the reasons we all have bad posture.
and setting you up for a future of pain 😐
Next thing I know I've got a MEGA chair
This is really the gamechanger
And a footrest
And a laptop stand
And a wireless keyboard + mouse
And now I'm set up for success
Isn't it silly that we don't invest in our health?
We'll happily spend hundreds of pounds on an online course we never do
but have reservations about spending money on a good chair.

I'm a convert.
If you want help reach out to Rebecca van Klinken she is ace
Get her to your office pronto or to your home set up
