Corporate Chair Massage and Reflexology

Chair massage, sometimes termed on-site or seated massage, typically occurs at the workplace or at any public occasion such as a convention, fair or sporting event; by a professionally licensed massage therapist (LMT). This form of bodywork involves a ergonomically designed portable massage chair that could be adjusted for the personalized care that includes the head, neck, back, shoulders, arms and hands. A variety of techniques are used for duration of usually between fifteen to twenty minutes.

On-site massage is perfectly suited for the workplace. Nothing helps improve morale, loyalty, productivity and camaraderie in employee’s like a simple chair massage. It is convenient, efficient and mutually beneficial. Scientific research confirms the benefits of chair massage in the workplace. This is one of the rare "win - win" situations in which both employers and employees alike benefit.

1.       Saves the Company Money: As documented by scientific research, chair massage improves company profit by reducing sick days and healthcare cost while increasing productivity, as well as encouraging employee morale and loyalty.

2.        Immediate Results: Unlike the lag time of other wellness programs between initiation and results; massage relaxes, invigorates and delivers benefit immediately. In fifteen minutes your employees can return to the job more energized, more creative, more motivated, more productive and with a heightened clarity of purpose.

 

3.    Cost Effective: Massage is the perfect alternative to costly fitness centers which may not only be used by 20% of your employees, usually the ones who need it the least; and its more effective than stress reduction seminars which focus only on the mind and ignore the body.

 

4. High Participation: Most wellness programs, as stated above, appeal to a limited number of employees. However, when the company provides the service, participation rates are nearly 100%.

 

5. It's Easy: No programs to learn, no changes to make; just have a seat, relax and let us do our job.

6. Promotes Teamwork: Encourages productive collaborations among colleagues and co-workers who participate in this soothing, healing, nurturing activity.

 

7. Increases Company Loyalty and Morale: A chair massage program financed by the company demonstrates a commitment to the health and well being of its employees. It is also a cost effective way to pamper company clients/executives and reward hardworking employees.

 

8. Helps Change Behavior / Attitude: Massage heals the body and the mind; making it easier for employees to lose weight, quit smoking, exercise, concentrate, manage time more effectively and have a heightened sense of self awareness. Therefore, it contributes to an efficient and productive working environment.

 

9. Increases Mental Clarity, Productivity and Enhances Alertness: This is based on research done in 1993 by Touch Research Institute (TRI), University of Miami Medical School, on workers that received chair massage twice weekly for five weeks.

 

10. Reduces Stress, Fatigue, Anxiety and Repetitive / Overuse Syndromes: As scientific research has documented massage reduces, and in some cases eliminates, the aforementioned symptoms. This is especially significant since carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) and sciatica are all commonplace as products of the office environment.

 

Chair massage (minimum of ten minutes, maximum of twenty minutes), two hour minimum per session. Schedule must be submitted and paid one week in advance.

 

Reflexology

Reflexology uses specific touch techniques to stimulate “reflex points and areas” on the feet, hands, and ears. These points correspond to a specific part of the body.

 

Using Reflexology on the feet, hands, or ears stimulates specific pathways of sensory nerves. The nerves then send messages to the brain, which in turn sends messages to the corresponding area of the body to produce relaxation. Reflexology improves blood flow and increases supplies of oxygen and nutrients to areas of the body, resulting in better health.

 

Reflexology is best suited for reducing the accumulation of stress in the body.

This is an important benefit because stress has been found to cause and

complicate a large percentage of all health problems.

 

Reflexology does more than reduce stress in common areas of accumulation,

such as the neck, shoulders, and lower back. It also reduces stress inside the

body, such as in the lungs, heart, kidneys, or entire intestinal tract.

 

Reflexology seems to be most effective in relieving muscular and skeletal

pain in the jaw, shoulders, neck, back and hips. It’s also commonly used to

help relieve conditions that are stress-related and involve the heart, lungs,

digestive tract, and other organs.
