At work, we spend so much time sitting at our desks, an activity (or rather, passivity) that our bodies have not evolved for. To keep your back healthy, we offer this exercise course.

It takes place on Tuesdays from 11:00-11:45 am in the CSBD Atrium ground floor. The courses will run for 9 weeks total. Please wear appropriate clothing for movement. The course includes:

• many movement exercises to strengthen the back muscles
• stretching exercises and tips for a better posture at the workplace
• tips for relaxing the shoulder and neck area
• exercises are performed both standing and lying on a mat (not provided - please bring your own)
• feasible for all training conditions

 

At this point, participation costs 140 EUR up front - this may be reimbursed partially or in full by your health insurance. To our knowledge, TK insured persons could receive 100% of the 140 EUR back, others receive 80% of costs/up to 75 EUR reimbursed. (Please check with your health insurance company in advance.) At the conclusion of the event, a participation certificate will be generated for submission to your insurance provider. The total should be transferred within the first few days after the start of the course via Bank transfer.

A minimum number of participants is required for the course to take place.
