Onsite Chair Massage

I am doing 3 Chair Massage events this week.  One as a booth vendor that benefits a local charity, another at the country club where I massage for the ladies golf association and yet another at my chiropractors office for patient appreciation day.  Onsite or Corporate Chair Massage is a great way to get clients for my business and showcase a little of what I do as well as raise money or reward employees. 

Onsite or Corporate Chair Massage

One of the main contributors to our everyday stress is our workplace. 70% of workers surveyed by a national survey stated that their job is very stressful. Stress is the #1 cause of disability. It costs employers billions of dollars a year on lost productivity and healthcare costs.  Since workplace is stressful, it seems commonsense to provide some means of stress relief at the workplace. More and more employers are recognizing that a regular massage can reduce the physical and mental effects of stress, thus reducing burnout and stress related diseases.

"More and more companies offer massage therapy not only as a perk, but also to increase their employees' productivity and morale," said E. Houston LeBrun, president-elect of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA). "You get immediate results — the employees experience stress reduction and greater satisfaction with their jobs."

  

Every year, more companies are heeding the call. There are no statistics on the number of companies that offer massage therapy onsite, but those that have offered it include law firms, hospitals, manufacturers and major corporations, such as Boeing, Apple Computer, PepsiCo, Sony Music and United Airlines.

Most companies contract with massage therapists who schedule appointments with employees during breaks. The recipient is seated in a specially designed chair which allows the therapist to work on the back, neck, shoulders and arms addressing the common problem areas of today's workers. There is no oil used and the worker is fully clothed. The massage session usually lasts 10- 15 minutes, the time for a coffee break.

Some of the Benefits of Corporate Chair Massage are:

• Increases work place morale
• Reduces work-related stress
• Promotes health
• Decreases repetitive injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Reduces Workers Compensation claims
• Reduces Employee sick time, and absenteeism
• Improves thinking and awareness
• Boosts energy, alertness, and productivity
• Increase job satisfaction and loyalty to employer
