Back2Back
Workplace acupressure for health, wellness and energy
How much of your time do you spend sitting at your desk?
According to a recent survey, most office-based workers are doing seated work for between 4 and 9 hours a day (even more if they sit down during your daily commute). As we spend more and more time seated, staring at a screen, employers are seeing a rise in associated health issues:
Repetitive Strain Injury
Reduced flexibility leading to joint pain
Headaches
Back pain
In addition, the growing pressure to do more with less and cope with increasing uncertainty is leading to rising levels of stress, anxiety and mental health issues.
Wellbeing in-situ
It would be great if there was enough time in the day for staff to get the benefits of a deep-tissue massage. The sad fact is, once you factor in travel time, the need to change before and after and the down-sides of massage oils when you need to present a professional front, this is a luxury that few can enjoy.
Not so with Back2Back.

‘Very calming, really does release tension, well worth the experience’
‘We introduced Back2Back’s acupressure massages into our wellbeing package and the comments that we receive is great. The massages are so relaxing, nice to switch off from your busy day for 20 minutes and unwind, coming out feeling like a different person.
Katharine has a very calming way about her that also contributes towards making you feel completely relaxed and free of tension.
I would definitely recommend Back2Back’s service to anyone interested. It’s a definite morale boost within the workplace.’

Katharine Ellis
I am the founder of Back2Back, which I set up in 2004. Seeing the challenges many people experience in finding time out of their busy lives to relax, destress and take care of themselves, I knew that acupressure massage would provide a welcome break in the working day.
I trained with the Academy of Onsite Massage in 2004 and have been working ever since with clients, both companies and individuals. I’m fully qualified as an advanced practitioner in acupressure and maintain my skills with regular CPD.
As well as acupressure, I have studied Reiki – a system of healing with gentle hands on the body – and TFT – Thought-Field Therapy (sometimes called EFT – Emotional Freedom Technique) – which uses a sequence of tapping on specific parts of the body to release past traumas and also phobias and fears.
I’m also a life coach. I practise on an individual basis with people who recognise that they would like support in changing their lives.
‘People would have
far less chronic problems if they had a regular massage with Katharine’.

I trained as a massage therapist in 2009 and have been practising now for 10 years.
Many people struggle to see someone for massage outside of their work commitments. On site acupressure massage not only targets the core problem areas; it also gives clients instant relief where they need it most from the first session.
I believe massage is one of the best forms of stress relief and it is such a rewarding skill – I’m very excited to be working alongside the Back2Back team
