The industrial athlete: rethinking health in an ageing rail workforce

At Rail Wellbeing Live 2026, osteopath Geoff offers a fresh perspective on workplace health by encouraging us to see rail workers as industrial athletes. This practical and engaging session explores how the physical demands of rail work compare to sport, and why readiness, strength and recovery matter more than we might think.

From understanding how the body changes with age to spotting early signs of fatigue and strain, discover how small, proactive steps can support long term health, performance and safety. Watch the full session above to hear Geoff’s insights and practical advice in his own words.
