Massage at Work

On-Site chair massage can boost productivity

Massage at work? If that isn’t a cure for a case of the Mondays I don’t know what is. Apple is the company credited for starting the movement, and now chair massage is offered in businesses of every size.

Chair Massage in business settings has shown to reduced stress levels, increase productivity and increase morale, as well as avoid common workplace injuries. Sitting at a desk for long hours can lead to many problems including carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain and even restricted blood flow. Warehouse employees are also at risk of injury when inappropriately lifting, or carrying heavy loads. A quick 10 minute massage can relieve much of that physical stress, pain and discomfort as well as possibly preventing serious chronic conditions. By decreasing pain and tension your employees will likely be more alert and more productive without spending a lot of time away from their work.

Local massage therapists are already offering chair massage to business throughout Gwinnett. As employers reduce their risk of injuries and workers compensation cases, their employees feel appreciated and pampered. This creates a win win situation for business.
