What is a chair massage?
An onsite chair massage is performed while you are seated fully clothed in a specially designed portable chair. This type of massage concentrates on your head, shoulders, back, neck, arms, and hands.
It does not require a private room and can be done at an employee’s workstations, conference room, or in an office. The massage is typically 10 to 20 minutes. No oil is used so a person can go right back to their tasks without a shower.
The massage therapist massages trigger points, tension, and tight muscles. The employee is seated in a chair leaning forward slightly, with their arms and legs supported in a massage chair. A chair massage is the most effective, convenient, and simple way to receive a massage in your office.
For some people with chronic issues, massage is not a luxury. A massage is a necessity. Employees, executives, and entrepreneurs all over the world are adding massage into their regular self-care routine. Significant stress or burnout can cause sleep issues, pain, tension headaches, migraines, backaches, etc. If you have pain in any part of your body, it is hard to stay focused and productive.
