Workplace Osteopathy

Workplace osteopathy in Luxembourg

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are one of the leading causes of sick leave and daily discomfort. Prolonged postures, repetitive movements, lifting loads or chronic stress can lead to pain, fatigue and a loss of efficiency.

The intervention of an osteopath in the workplace is part of a prevention and workplace well-being approach: relieving employees, improving their comfort and reducing the impact of pain on their activity.

For which employees?

Workplace osteopathy is suitable for all profiles, regardless of their role:

  • Office workers (prolonged sitting posture, computer, telephone)

  • Manual workers (handling, lifting loads, repetitive movements)

  • Employees exposed to sustained stress or a high mental workload.

Common situations

Neck pain
Shoulder tension
Low back pain
Muscle fatigue
Tingling in the hands
Stiff neck
Pain between the shoulder blades
Discomfort in the hips or knees
Feeling of a “blocked back”.

The aim is to adapt the treatment to the reality of the workstation: computer desk, workshop, warehouse, field work, open space, driving, etc., in order to offer concrete and easily applicable solutions.

Benefits for the company

A workplace osteopathy programme is part of a broader prevention and well-being policy. It can help to:

  • Reduce employees’ pain and functional discomfort

  • Lower absenteeism related to MSDs and chronic pain

  • Improve comfort and engagement at work

  • Prevent, in the long term, the onset or worsening of MSDs

  • Support productivity in a work environment that respects health.

Beyond figures (absences, sick leave, turnover), these actions strengthen the company’s image, enhance teams and are part of a genuine workplace quality of life strategy (QWL/CSR).

Relevant sectors

Workplace osteopathy can be implemented in many professional environments, from office to workshop:

Tertiary sector
Services
Banks
Insurance
Tech
IT
Start-ups
Industry
Manufacturing / production
Logistics
Warehouses
Transport
Public and private sector
Local authorities
SMEs and large companies

Each organisation has its own constraints (screens, open-plan offices, noise, shift work, handling…), which requires a personalised approach closely aligned with day-to-day reality.

Types of intervention

Interventions can be one-off or regular, depending on the company’s needs and the number of employees involved:

  • Well-being or prevention days (on-site individual sessions)

  • One-off interventions during internal events (QWL week, seminar, etc.)

  • Monthly or quarterly on-site clinics within the company

  • Ergonomic assessments and postural advice directly at the workstation

The aim is to build a flexible format, adapted to the organisation and constraints of each structure, in order to offer an effective, concrete intervention that can be easily integrated into employees’ daily routines.
