Who doesn’t love
a good massage? Massage increases employees’ performance and productivity,
reduces adverse effects associated with repetitive work tasks and prolonged
sitting positions, reduces stress and tension and improves good feelings about
the workplace. Massage can be done in a specialized massage chair or on a
massage table. Sessions generally run 5-30 minutes but can last as long as an hour,
depending on your needs. The program can be initiated by employee or employer and
funded by individual or corporate budget.
Chair massage: A popular service that does not require a private room and can be
offered at the employees’ workstation, in a conference room or office. The
massage therapist uses a special chair for the massage sessions that can range
from 5-20 minutes. During the massage, the recipient is seated and fully
clothed. No oil is used. The massage therapist uses techniques that focus on
the upper part of the body – neck, head, shoulders, back, and arms.
Table Massage: Some
work places prefer to offer the employees a longer and more relaxing massage
session. We come to your work site and transform a conference room or private
office into a soothing stress-free zone for the day! Our therapists bring a
massage table, linens, music and lighting to create the perfect environment for
relaxation. Massages may be scheduled on the half hour and hour.
