subject: Fight Stress But Also Promote Healing By Way Of A Soothing Chair Massage [print this page] Imagine a professional massage therapist giving you a soothing chair massage at the time and place of your choice ... what could be more convenient than that? Chair massage therapy is becoming more and more popular among busy people everywhere. It is proving to be a very popular option for busy people on the go when they only have minutes to spare. A chair massage is the perfect remedy for instant relief at an affordable price.
So just what is a chair massage? It's slightly shorter than a regular massage, but provides the same benefits. A chair massage focuses on our primary tension areas: the back, shoulders, neck and arms and is performed by a professional massage therapist, using a specially designed massage chair, in your home or workplace. Although a large number of chair massages are being offered in businesses, the retail chair massage is also gaining popularity in massage stores or stand-alone kiosks in a growing number of locations.
Some people feel uncomfortable about the traditional type of massage, in which you are required to remove your clothing. And some are apprehensive about even trying a massage at all because they are hesitant to try something new. The chair massage addresses both these issues. First, it is done out in the open, so anyone can see how a chair massage is administered before they try it themselves. Second, there is no reason to remove your clothing, making it a much more feasible option for some.
Another group enjoying the benefits of chair massage therapy is employers, more and more of whom are offering it as a benefit for their workers. Companies are finding that offering a chair massage to their employees positively affects both morale and productivity. They are finding a marked reduction in the money they lose each year by way of absenteeism, lower productivity, poor morale and higher care for health programs.
With instances of workplace fatigue increasing due to the economy, more and more employees are suffering the effects such as tight shoulders, sore wrists and stiff necks, to name a few. Those who are doing repetitive tasks in a work area that is not ergonomically correct are feeling the effects even more. The result is a lack of energy, mental fogginess, restricted blood flow and even painful carpal tunnel.
So what is the allure for employers?
A chair massage works for just about everyone ... everywhere.
The positive effects are immediate; their employees will feel great right away.
A chair massage program can be used to complement your company's other wellness programs.
A chair massage requires no overhead or start-up costs.
So why do employees love getting a chair massage at work?
Provides relief to tension and tired muscles resulting from stress in the workplace.
They experience instant energy and motivation.
Makes them feel of value to their company and their employer.
Helps to relieve the symptoms resulting from repetitive work and long bouts of sitting.
As you can see, chair massage therapy can benefit just about everyone ... businesses, employees and busy people on the go. And because the sessions are shorter than those in traditional massage therapy, they really are a very affordable option for instant relief.
