Businesses across America are discovering something that athletes have known since the first Olympics; massage improves performance.
Most people have a pretty good idea about the health benefits of a massage on a massage table in a spa or private massage office. But you may not know about chair massage.
Chair massages can reduce stress, pain and fatigue. They also can improve function of the immune system, alleviate symptoms of depression, and increase workers’ ability to concentrate. Chair massage has been shown to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation while simultaneously enhancing employee alertness.
Physicians and health care providers have now come to the conclusion that there is a correlation between stress and disease and stress related ailments are the main cause of productivity decline in the workplace.
More than half of all employee absence can be attributed to stress induced hypertension, headache, and even chronic pain. Massage as a wellness/stress management tool fits well into the new generation of business leaders. Optimum efficiency calls for stress management.
A seated chair massage releases muscular tension and helps unblock the sensory receptors, bringing new awareness to areas cut off by chronic tension patterns.
Major corporations including the Ford Motor Company, American Airlines, AT&T, and American Express are enjoying the benefits of on-site chair massage. They are finding that massage optimizes employee performance and helps in decreasing on the job injuries. But you don’t have to be a major corporation to benefit from a seated chair massage. If you have one employee or many, all will benefit from a seated chair massage.
