Chair Massage is a Good Investment for a Healthy Business
Chair Massage is a great addition to any wellness program.
A growing number of businesses are providing wellness programs in the workplace. Naturally, employees who are healthy and manage their stress are more productive on the job.
Stress is one of the biggest reasons for illness and lost time at work. By being proactive toward battling stress and achieving optimum physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, businesses can help their employees and their bottom line.
Prevention is an essential part of wellness – catching potential problems before they cause disease or disability. Workplace wellness programs have been found to cut down on worker’s compensation claims and reduce time-off for employee illness and injury.
On-site chair massage is a convenient, safe, and cost-effective addition to any workplace wellness plan. It helps boost employee morale, and provides valuable health benefits too. All sizes and kinds of businesses from small offices to large companies can benefit from on-site chair massage services.

Questions to ask a massage therapist before they work on you
You should always be able to ask your therapist certain questions. After all, they ask you about your history.
-
How long have you been doing massage?
-
Where were you educated?
-
Are you licensed, certified, and/or registered (varies with state)?
-
What do you specialize in (ie relaxation, deep/therapeutic massage)?
Always communicate with the therapist even during the massage. You want a quiet, relaxing experience but if the pressure is too much or too little, tell the therapist. Most therapists love the feedback and encourage communication about the comfort of the pressure.
