Massage makes the run much more fun
Auckland's annual HSBC Round the Bays fun run yesterday drew another huge crowd, estimated at around 45,000 people and was the biggest one yet for LiVevo. It was amazing to see 20 of LiVevo's massage team this year spread across 6 corporate marquees, where as always eager staff really appreciated their post-event massage.
Massage is not only a great way to reward staff after this event but also helps to relieve pain, prevent injury and speed recovery time particularly for the more serious athletes that ran the 8.4km!
LiVevo are in real hot demand at these sporting events! Contact us now to book your LiVevo massage therapists for next year's RTB - don't forget the Auckland Marathon coming up in October!

Gradual Process Injuries more prevalent among staff
Just what we've been telling our clients for years! Gradual Process Injuries (GPI - previously known as RSI or OOS) are on the up and employers are now starting to notice an increase in workplace injury claims. Costs associated with GPI are apparently around $28 million a year!
Massage is proven to relieve symptoms of GPI's which are musculoskeletal disorders affecting the muscles, tendons and nerves in the hands, arms and upper back. Massage is a soft tissue therapy that helps to reduce the pain by relaxing the tense muscles that have been over-stimulated by ongoing repetitive movements.
The article that appeared in today's NZ Weekend Herald points out that "Investing in prevention is good for a company's productivity. Workers who are in pain don't work as well, it's as simple as that."
