subject: Rejuvenate Yourself But Also Promote Well Being By Way Of A Fun, Relaxing Chair Massage [print this page] 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.
People who would normally feel uncomfortable with the regular massage therapy (which requires that you remove your clothing) feel more comfortable because they are able to keep their clothes on, thereby removing the awkwardness of disrobing. Secondly, because a chair massage is done out in the open instead of behind closed doors, anyone can watch the process before they actually make a commitment to have one.
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.
