Prevention key as EU back pain bill reaches €240 billionA new EU-wide study by The Work Foundation (www.theworkfoundation.org) has found that musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as back pain, neck pain and RSI-type conditions, account for nearly half (49%) of all absences from work and 60% of permanent work incapacity in the European Union.The estimated cost to society in Europe is up to €240 billion every year, with 100 million European citizens suffering the misery of MSDs that are serious enough to warrant treatment and absence from work.

Back Booster
With the holiday season here, friends and family have happily volunteered to try out the Back Booster on holiday and the feedback so far has been fantastic as it is soooooo versatile!

Headrest on both the beach and on the pool loungers (very much a favourite!)

In the meantime, have a happy holiday.
