Chair
massage, which is also referred to as seated or "on-site"
massage, is a brief rejuvenating body massage session during which
the client is upright, face supported on a specially designed massage
chair. While in the chair, the client's neck, back, shoulders, arms
and hips are all accessible to the therapist. Sessions can last anywhere
between 15 to 30 minutes.
Chair massage helps ease
the daily strain that many office workers feel. If you have ever sat
behind a desk all day staring at a computer screen you are aware of
where the tension and stress hits you. This kind of office environment
can lead to back pain, neck stiffness, tense shoulders, aching wrists,
and the worst symptom of all which is bad circulation. Most of the
aching symptoms that occur at work are caused by a loss of circulation
which happens when people are sitting in a desk chair all day. This
can lead to mental fogginess, decreased energy, and sore and stiff
muscles, as well as more serious injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Chair massage increases the body's circulation once again, restoring
energy and helping to limit any office related repetitive-stress injuries.
Since chair therapy is quick and can be easily brought to the office
space, it's a very relaxing, much needed break at work. It will improve
your overall well-being by reducing stress, boosting your mental alertness
and sparking your creativity.
