A quarter of adults suffer from long-standing musculoskeletal (MSK) problems - the most common reason for visiting GPs and accounting for 30% of all consultations.

Every year, over 170 million days are lost to employee absence, estimated to cost the economy around £100bn, potentially affecting the productivity and profitability of your business.
