   2.4 Stress Testing
We use a registered psychologist to do “stress testing”. We find that the term stress test is non-threatening to employees, however these short sessions uncover a variety of problems including:       untreated depression, relationship problems, substance abuse and other psychological problems that effect work productivity and quality of life. The psychologist can refer directly to your in-house employee wellness program.

This massage technique was developed in the USA specifically for corporates. It is performed on a special chair which positions the neck and back in a comfortable position. The massage leaves you feeling relaxed but invigorated.
