Movement & Stretch Breaks

Workshop overview

Ideas for gentle movement breaks that can be discussed in a workplace education session. Rachel’s archived workshops aimed to translate health knowledge into practical advice people could take into daily life, particularly in desk-based roles.

The original workshop descriptions covered neck and shoulder discomfort, and lower-back or hip discomfort arising from prolonged sitting. The emphasis was on awareness and simple movements within each participant’s comfort.

Planning considerations

• Define the audience, work environment and desired learning outcomes.
• Allow time for questions, gentle movement and discussion.
• Confirm the current session length, group suitability and availability before arranging a workshop.
