Massage in the Workplace, at Events, Functions and more
While traditional massage therapy is undertaken at a massage clinic or a spa/salon, seated massage therapy can be performed at just about any time or any place, making it a very convenient and flexible option.
That is just one reason that chair massages are becoming increasingly popular and are being offered in workplaces, trade shows, private social functions & events, sporting events, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, retirement villages and just about anywhere else where there are people looking for affordable relief from stress and tension at the location of their choice.
Workplace Massage is becoming increasingly popular as the time to receive a workplace massage does not have a huge impact on your work time, and more importantly relieves stress and tension, which improves productivity.
So just what is a seated massage?
A seated massage is just what it sounds like; a massage you get while seated either on a regular chair or a special massage chair as pictured above. A seated massage focuses on our primary tension areas: the back, shoulders, neck and arms and is performed by a professional massage therapist, using a specially designed massage chair.
People who would normally feel uncomfortable with the regular massage therapy (which requires that you remove an item of clothing) feel more comfortable because they are able to keep their clothes on, thereby removing the awkwardness of disrobing.
Secondly, because with chair massage there is the option to have the massage out in open space instead of behind closed doors; anyone can watch the process before they actually make a commitment to have one.
It appears that an increasing number of corporate businesses are starting to offer massage therapy – in the form of a chair massage – as a benefit for their employees.
They have found that a chair massage has a very positive effect on production and morale. Anyone who works knows that one of the main sources of stress in our everyday life comes from our place of employment.
The stress costs employers millions of dollars each year in the form of lower productivity and higher instances of absenteeism and disability. Workplace fatigue is rampant across our country, especially in the past year. We all recognize the signs: stiff neck, tight shoulders, and sore wrists.
These symptoms are worsened if the ergonomics of a workstation is not in balance, which is frequently the case. All of these symptoms affect an employee’s productivity by decreasing energy, impeding blood flow and aggravating the effects of mental fogginess and conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.
.
Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of a chair massage for employers.
- A chair massages works for just about everyone … everywhere.
- The positive effects are immediate; employees will feel great right away.
- A chair massage program can be used to complement your company’s other wellness programs.
- A chair massage requires no overhead or start-up costs.
.
So why do employees love getting a seated massage at work?
- Provides relief to tension & tired muscles resulting from stress in the workplace.
- They experience instant energy and motivation.
- Makes them feel of value to their company and their employer.
- Helps to relieve the symptoms resulting from repetitive work and long bouts of sitting.
.
Making a seated massage even more appealing is the fact that because of the reduced time required, it provides a more affordable option for the instant gratification it provides. It is easy to understand why chair massages are increasing in popularity across the country for busy people, large and small businesses and employees.
