What the employees & HR lead said

We tried lunch-and-learn wellness before. Nothing stuck. Pro Physio’s programme worked because the 1-on-1 audit made every employee accountable for their own desk. Sick-leave dropped, NPS jumped 50 points.

ODI was 34 (moderate) before I even realised I was disabled. In 12 weeks with weekly workshops plus one home visit, it dropped to 10. Back to weekend cricket for the first time in 3 years.

The most useful part wasn’t the exercises — it was fixing my desk. Monitor height was 4 inches too low. Chair depth was wrong. That 15-minute audit was worth the entire quarter.

HR case study — FAQ

Can you share the raw before/after data for the HR case study?
Yes — under NDA. Once your HR desk is a signed prospect we share the anonymised employee-level ODI, NDI and VAS distributions and standard deviations, plus the exact adherence log per employee.
Is the case study representative of typical Prestige Tech Park teams?
Yes. This client’s baseline pain profile matches our aggregate 400+ IT-employee case log to within 3 % on every dimension. Expect a 40–65 % ODI drop across a 12-week programme with any comparably WFH-heavy team.
What if my team is smaller than 20 or larger than 100?
Programmes scale up and down. For teams of 5–10 we deliver a lighter version at ₹20,000 per quarter. For teams above 100 we sub-cluster (25 per pod) and price accordingly.
How do you protect employee privacy in aggregate HR reporting?
Only aggregate anonymised metrics reach HR. Individual ODI / NDI / VAS scores stay between employee and their assigned physiotherapist. Employees can opt-out of aggregate reporting entirely.
