Stronger together: Spinewise & Springbok Coaching join forces for back health in the workplace.

Back and muscle pain remains one of the biggest causes of absenteeism. Research shows that almost a third of employees experience musculoskeletal pain on a weekly basis. (Study: Sundstrup 20 - A_Systematic_Rev)

Preventive and sustainable solutions are therefore not a luxury, but a strategic necessity.

That's why Spinewise and Springbok Coaching are joining forces. Two organizations with distinct focuses, but a shared mission: to help employees stay healthy, resilient, and enjoy their work.

• Spinewise brings digital intelligence: innovative devices and software that map movements and provide real-time biofeedback to prevent risky postures and back strain

• Springbok Coaching adds the human touch: coaching guidance, behavioral change, and well-being projects supported by employees, teams, and organizations.

  
  

Scientific basis

The added value of this collaboration has been firmly substantiated.

• Studies show that targeted strength training and physical exercise in the workplace counteract fatigue and improve work capacity (Studies: Andersen 16 - Strength_Training…/Jakobsen 15 - Physical exercise…)

• A systematic review even concludes that strength training is the most proven approach to reduce musculoskeletal complaints at work (Studies: Sundstrup 20 - A_Systematic_Rev…)

  
  

Spinewise takes this to a new level with digital data and personalized feedback. Springbok Coaching ensures that insights are truly impacted: in behavior, motivation, and a culture where employees enjoy their work. Together, we deliver a solution that works both physically and mentally.

Founders with the same drive

What makes this collaboration extra special is the story of the founders.

• Liesbeth Van Hauwermeiren, founder and CEO of Spinewise, built her company on the belief that smart technology and digital precision can structurally prevent back pain. Her mission: to use innovative tools to make employees physically stronger and healthier.

• Brecht Buysschaert, founder and CEO of Springbok, started his company with the belief that well-being at work is more than just a "nice to have." For him, it's a strategic lever that makes organizations resilient and future-proof.

Their meeting wasn't a coincidence: both believe in a true ecosystem of partner organizations, where each party contributes its own strengths. This partnership is a concrete example of that. Liesbeth and Brecht share the same all-in mentality and the conviction that together you can make a greater impact than alone.

Making an impact together

This collaboration stands for:

• Scientifically proven – evidence-based interventions that have been proven to work.

• Practical & operational – easy-to-use technology and on-the-spot coaching.

• Sustainable behavioral change – employees not only learn what is better, they experience it immediately.

Whether it concerns an intervention with real-time biofeedback or a long-term trajectory around workplace health: Spinewise and Springbok Coaching together offer a 360° approach.

The result? Fewer complaints, more energy, higher productivity, and above all: employees who thrive.
