For organisations
Corporate Acupuncture
Robert can work with organisations that would like to include acupuncture in their employee wellbeing programme.
Who this is for
This service is aimed at employers, HR and people teams, workplace wellbeing leads and business owners who are looking for something more substantial than a one-off perk.
It sits alongside Robert's main practice rather than replacing it. His individual clinical work in Sintra remains the core of TEJO ACUPUNCTURE, and workplace sessions are delivered to the same standard.
- Employers and business owners
- HR and people teams
- Workplace wellbeing and health & safety leads
- Office managers arranging wellbeing days
What organisations commonly ask about
Employees typically raise the same concerns at work that patients raise in clinic. These are the areas most often discussed when a company gets in touch.
Desk-related tension
Neck, shoulder and upper back discomfort associated with long periods at a screen.
Stress load
Employees who describe feeling constantly switched on or unable to wind down.
Sleep
Poor or broken sleep, particularly in teams working long or irregular hours.
Headaches
Recurring tension headaches during demanding periods.
Wellbeing days
Acupuncture as one element of a wider wellbeing programme or event.
Ongoing provision
A regular presence on site rather than a single visit.
Honest expectations
TEJO ACUPUNCTURE does not promise reductions in absenteeism, increases in productivity, improvements in retention or a financial return on investment. Claims of that kind are made frequently in the workplace wellbeing market and are rarely supported by robust evidence for acupuncture specifically.
What Robert can offer is straightforward: an experienced, university-qualified practitioner providing individual acupuncture treatment to your employees, delivered professionally and discreetly on your premises, with the same care he gives patients in clinic.
Each employee is treated as an individual. Robert does not report clinical information about any employee back to the employer.
Arranging a workplace trial
Organisations can enquire about a corporate acupuncture trial. The structure, scale and commercial terms are agreed privately with each organisation, because requirements differ enormously between a ten-person studio and a several-hundred-person office.
Contact Robert to discuss how a workplace acupuncture trial could work for your organisation. Choose "Corporate Acupuncture" as the reason for your enquiry and he will come back to you directly.
Practical questions
What do you need from us on site?
A private, quiet room that can be closed, with a chair or treatment couch, and somewhere for employees to wait. Robert will confirm the practical requirements when he replies to your enquiry.
Which areas do you cover?
Robert is based in Sintra and works with organisations in Sintra, Lisbon and the surrounding area. If you are further afield, ask and he will tell you honestly whether it is workable.
Is employee information kept confidential?
Yes. What an employee discusses with Robert stays between the employee and Robert. Employers receive only the practical arrangements, never clinical information about individuals.
Can we book a single wellbeing day rather than an ongoing programme?
Yes. Both are possible. Tell Robert what you have in mind in your enquiry and he will discuss what fits.
Discuss workplace acupuncture
Tell Robert about your organisation and what you would like to offer your team. He will reply personally to discuss how a trial could work.
