Chair Massage
Create an oasis of relaxation in the midst of your busy office environment. Want your next marketing event to be a big hit? Chair Massage & Mobile Spa Services draws prospects to your booth and makes sure they leave with a positive feeling about your company.
Most office-related physical symptoms can be attributed to loss of circulation. Tight muscles caused by stress and sitting behind a desk all day, especially at a work station that is not ergonomically designed, can impede blood and lymph flow through the body. The result is mental fogginess, decreased energy and susceptibility to repetitive stress injuries, like carpal tunnel syndrome.
Chair massage counters the circulatory problems inherent with office work and provides an appreciated break for employees. Sitting in a massage chair opens up the back muscles, relieves strain on the neck and provides a gentle respite for eyes usually glued to a computer monitor. Even 15 minutes of massage to the neck, back, arms and hands can increase circulation, returning energy levels and helping keep the body injury free.
Chair massages are typically performed an average of 4-5 people per hour, per therapist. If there are more than 15 employees or a limited amount of time, two or more chair massage therapists are recommended. All that's required is a designated clear area at least 5’ x 5’ where massages can be performed on the massage chair. There are volume rates available which results in a lower hourly rate.
