On Site Massage is a safe, cost-effective, and reliable method to prevent and correct:
Are your employees overstressed?
From manufacturers to hospitals to auto dealerships, companies across the
country are using seated massage services to make work less of a pain in the
neck for employees. Chair massage provides hard-working employees with a
convenient method of alleviating the stress inherent in these competitive times.
Slouching at the desk for prolonged periods often results in lower back pain. Repetitive motion injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, are common among office workers. A ten to twenty minute stress-buster massage relieves tension in neck, back and shoulder muscles, reducing irritability and increasing productivity.
Convenience ~
Chair massage is performed in the workplace. Your employees will
be seated upright on a special massage chair and will remain fully clothed.
No oils are used, so there is no need for them to be concerned about stains on
clothing. The session generally lasts from ten to twenty minutes.
The chair is lightweight and portable, enabling it to be set up in virtually any
office or break room.
Chair massage begins at a slower pace, then moves a little faster as the therapist proceeds. The session ends with quick, revitalizing strokes, in order to bring the client back to a state of full consciousness.
Benefits ~
Studies by the Touch Research Institute in Miami, Florida, show that the
benefits of chair massage have quick results. Immediately after massage
sessions, the subjects experienced a change in brain waves in the direction of
heightened alertness and better performance on math problems (completed in less
time with fewer errors).
At the end of the five-week study period, subjects reported reduced job stress and elevated moods. This was in addition to the usual benefits of massage, relief of muscular tension, revitalized energy, and a stronger immune system.
The study's findings are significant in that the International Labor Organization stated in its 1993 World Labor Report that job stress costs the U.S. economy $200 billion annually through diminished productivity, compensation claims, absenteeism, health insurance, and direct medical expenses.
Employee Reward ~
Reward the winning department of a team competition to a fifteen minute massage.
After a stressful and demanding project, contract for a day of chair massage to
show your appreciation for a job well done, or substitute a congratulations in
the office after a strong fiscal quarter with a sign-up in the break room for a
complimentary chair massage.
