On-Site Massage
Your employee's wellness is not a luxury but an investment.
An increasing number of corporations, small businesses and
municipalities have found corporate massage therapy to be a low-cost,
high-return benefit.
What are the benefits of an on-site massage?
On-site massage has many benefits to offer employees:
Relieves pain and stiffness—this applies to many different forms of pain, including that in the neck and shoulders, as well as aching wrists.
Easily accessible—this is one benefit that is often hard
to find with massage therapy. Since a therapist will often come to you,
it is much easier to find the time to experience the benefit of an
on-site massage than any other form of massage.
Prevention—receiving an on-site massage on a
regular basis can help relieve the symptoms of, as well as help to
prevent, recurrent conditions that are associated with repeated stress
on the body, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Healing—on-site massage can promote healing within the
body. Just as with all forms of massage, increased circulation and
relaxation help the body heal itself and prevent illnesses in the
future.
Mental focus—the reason so many companies have begun
offering on-site massages to their employees is because of the mental
benefits that it offers. Once a person’s body has been relieved of
stress and tension, they are able to focus more fully on their work
and, in turn be more productive.
Not only does an on-site massage have many health benefits to offer, it
is one of the quickest and most easily accessible forms of massage
therapy available. If you are in need of a massage and would prefer a
shorter, less intimate form of therapy, an on-site massage is the
answer.
Why is on-site massage usually a seated massage?
As mentioned above, an on-site massage is usually a seated massage for the following reasons:
Quicker—a seated massage takes only about 10-30 minutes
to achieve results, while most table massages take longer than that.
Since many on-site massages are performed at workplaces, the shorter
the massage, the better.
No oils—since no oils are used during a seated massage,
there is no need for a shower after wards. This allows the seated
massage to be performed in a variety of places that a table massage
isn’t.
No clothing removal—since a seated massage is performed with the clothes on, it takes less time (and there is no need for a dressing area).
Space—even the most compact massage table takes up more
space than a massage chair. This allows chair massages to be performed
in many places (including offices, etc.) where there would be no room
for a massage table.
