Chair Massage

Massage Therapy for the Workplace

What is Seated Massage?

On-site seated massage is a short massage which:

	Comes to your workplace.
	Is given by a professional massage practitioner.
	Lasts from 5 to 30 minutes, uses no oil, and takes place with the employee fully clothed.
	Usually covers the head, neck, shoulders, back, arms and hands and can be adapted to special needs.
	Leaves employees feeling relaxed, refreshed and ready to return to work.

A portable massage chair, designed for comfort and support, is often used. It is supplied by the massage practitioner and can be set up and dismantled quickly in almost any location.

It's easy to set up and run.

	Assign a contact person. He or she will help the massage practitioner set a schedule, publicize the program, and sign people up.
	Provide space. A conference room, break room, or a quiet corner is fine. After the day's sessions, the space can return to normal use.
	Encourage employees to use it. Make sure they know management supports the program. Management should use it and encourage their staff and employees to do the same.

If it saves even one employee from a job related injury, it's a worthwhile investment in future medical costs.

Cost Effective? Yes!

Seated massage is quite affordable. Because it is shorter than a regular table massage, it costs proportionately less. Your minimal expenses for in-house coordination and publicity will be more than offset by these savings:

	There is no up-front investment in equipment or facilities.
	You pay only for employees who use it.
	Employees can pay part or all of the cost.
	Massages can take place on break time so no work time is lost.
	Two massages a month cost much less per employee than most other health programs.

It excels as a wellness program.

	It's convenient. No need to change clothes, shower, or leave work to participate.
	Results are immediate. Most wellness programs take months to show results.
	It's easy and safe. No special fitness level or training is required to receive a massage.
	Effects are cumulative. Consistent use reinforces the benefits.
	People enjoy it. You avoid two common problems: spending more selling a program than on the program itself, and then having it used most by employees who need it least.
	It encourages other steps to wellness. Regular massage helps people feel better and can motivate them to take care of themselves with diet, exercise or other lifestyle changes.

It's a versatile benefit, too.

Once on-site massage is in place, you may find it is also a great way to recognize birthdays or service anniversaries, provide incentive awards for good attendance or an accident-free period, or give a bonus for achieving company and individual goals or completing projects.

These uses are also an ideal way to try on-site massage without an ongoing commitment.

Stress costs money

Stress is a fact of life, and the workplace is no exception. Deadlines, changing technology, and conflicts are just a few of the stresses workers cope with daily. The effects of stress can lead to headaches, backaches, neck pain, listlessness, depression, irritability, physical and emotional exhaustion just to name a few. On-site seated massage can help! For over a decade, on-site seated massage has been effectively relieving stress in the workplace for everyone from CEO's to hourly workers. It works because massage:

	Reduces muscle tension and the pain it causes.
	Calms the nervous system and increases circulation, which boosts energy and alertness.
	Helps employees identify and release tension on their own before it becomes a problem.
	Provides a complete change of pace so the body and mind can relax and rejuvenate.
