Fractal Workout Launches Preventive Mental Health Support Program Using a Body-Based Approach

Fractal Workout Inc. has launched a “Preventive Mental Health Support Program” for corporations, health insurance societies, public health nurses, occupational physicians, and health management offices. The program supports mental well-being from the physical side. Stress, fatigue, sleep quality, and lack of exercise can easily affect workplace condition. However, mental health measures often focus on consultation desks and training, while daily self-care and physical activity are harder to implement. This program combines exercise, breathing, conditioning, and health education to complement preventive and health-promotion initiatives led by public health nurses and occupational physicians. Based on a standard template, the program is adjusted to each organization’s situation. It is not a medical service, but is provided as support for prevention, health promotion, and self-care. The program includes health education, body-based self-care measures, online and in-person implementation design, organization-level trend monitoring using BODY PALETTE, and reporting on activities, participation, survey results, and improvement points. Health education topics include the basics of stress and physical responses, how to recognize persistent fatigue, the relationship between sleep and daytime performance, self-care through breathing, posture, and light exercise, when to seek consultation, and criteria for connecting employees with public health nurses, occupational physicians, or internal support desks. Self-care measures include short conditioning sessions before or after work, mini breathing sessions, light exercises for stiff shoulders and neck, lower back pain, and fatigue, self-care around sleep, and measures to address reduced physical activity during remote work. The benefits include making mental health measures easier to implement as preventive initiatives, complementing the work of public health nurses and occupational physicians, enabling ongoing operation instead of one-off training, and applying medical fitness expertise. The company operates a fully private personal gym near Harajuku Station and uses its knowledge as a health promotion facility certified by Japan’s Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare in corporate health programs. Fractal Workout Inc. supports preventive and health-promotion measures through both its corporate health support service BODY PALETTE and its exercise facility near Harajuku Station. BODY PALETTE provides organization-level health dynamics monitoring without identifying individuals, covering physical condition, sleep quality, diet quality, exercise habits, mental state, shoulder and neck stiffness, lower back pain, work efficiency, concentration, motivation, and stress. The company also supports easy-to-join employee health initiatives through online sessions, custom sessions, weekend sessions, and guidance programs. The implementation flow includes an initial consultation, program design, communication and execution, reporting, and reflection into the next fiscal year’s health programs or health management initiatives. The program can support partial supplementation of existing measures, one-off seminars, online initiatives, collaboration with specialists, and integration into annual programs.
