Are your employees over stressed
From manufacturers to hospitals
to auto dealerships, companies
across the country are using seated
massage services to make work
literally less of a pain in the neck
for employees. Seated massage
provides hard-working employees
with a convenient method of alleviating
the stress inherent in these competitive
times. Slouching at a desk for prolonged
periods often results in lower back
pain. Repetitive motion injuries,
such as carpal tunnel syndrome,
are common among office workers.
A 10- to 20-minute “stress-buster”
massage relieves tension in neck,
back and shoulder muscles, reducing
irritability and increasing
productivity.
Convenience
Seated 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 10 to 20 minutes. The chair is lightweight and portable, enabling it to be set up in virtually any office or break room.
Benefits
Studies by the Touch Research Institute in Florida show that the benefits of seated 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 Labour Organization stated in its 1993 World Labour 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 15-minute massage for each member of the department. 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 newsletter after a strong fiscal quarter with a sign-up in the breakroom for a complimentary seated massage.

are available. Just call or email to
