Chair massage is a form of massage that is performed with the recipient seated in a specially designed chair that allows them to be massaged fully clothed. This allows employees to return to work without needing to shower or change clothing. The massage typically focuses on the neck, back, and shoulders. This makes chair massage ideal for the workplace. Very little space is needed to perform chair massage.
Chair massage in the workplace is an amazing benefit to the companies that choose to implement it into their wellness program. Companies see a reduction in use of paid time off, repetitive use injuries, and burn out. A ten to fifteen minute chair massage can positively impact the morale of any work place. Productivity will see an uptick, as chair massage increases mental clarity, resulting in employees feeling more alert and focused. Massage increases feelings of calm and relaxation to ease the emotional and cognitive pressures of an overwhelmed workforce. Massage is proven to have a positive impact on anxiety, depression, fatigue, vitality, an quality of life.
A study conducted at the University of Miami School of Medicine found that employees who received a 15-minute chair massage twice a week had lower levels of stress and anxiety, in addition to higher job performance compared to those who did not receive massage. Additional studies show that massage therapy can boost the immune system by increasing the number of helper cells, which fight off viruses and other pathogens.
