The Rise of Corporate Chair Massages
Employers have rapidly begun to understand the importance of
stress relief in the workplace. Stress free employees have a
higher retention rate and higher rates of productivity. It is no
wonder, given these facts, that many corporations have been
encouraging chair massages in the workplace.
Corporate chair massages involve the visit of a licensed massage
therapist for on-site massage sessions. The therapist brings
along a portable massage chair and usually gives 15 to 20 minute
massages for all interested employees. Employees enjoy getting a
break from the monotony of their day and can go back to work
with greatly reduced stress levels.
Corporate chair massages are different from other types of
massages. Workers can receive the massage dressed fully in their
office attired and the therapist does not use oils or other
ointments in the process. The therapist can target tension-prone
areas to relieve the pressure of those who sit at a desk all
day.
Companies can choose to offer this as an employee benefit. Some
larger corporations will pay the full price of the massage while
others pay a portion. The employee is then responsible for the
rest of the fee. Some companies allow therapists on-site but do
not contribute the cost. This is becoming one of the most
popular employee benefits in addition to traditional benefit
packages.
Some studies have even reported that implementing corporate
chair massages lowers illness in the workplace. With reduced
tension, happier employees and a lower absenteeism rates, it is
surprising that every company hasn't jumped on board the on-site
massage bandwagon.
A massage therapist could probably spend all day informing you
of the benefits of corporate massage. It is proven that massages
release tension and can help to prevent common neck and back
problems. Employees that work with computers for the majority of
their day may also suffer from tension headaches. Massage
therapy is also an excellent tool to deal with this and a host
of other common ailments.
