WHAT IS A CORPORATE CHAIR MASSAGE AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? We come to your workplace. Massage is given by a professional massage practitioner. Lasts from 10 to 30 minutes, uses no oil, and takes place with the employee fully clothed. Covers the head, neck, shoulders, back, arms and hands and can be adapted to special needs. Leaves employees feeling relaxed, refreshed and ready to return to work. A portable massage chair, designed for comfort and support, is often used. It is supplied by the massage practitioner and can be set up and dismantled quickly in almost any location.

IT'S EASY TO SET UP AND RUN WITH THESE 3 EASY STEPS: ASSIGN A CONTACT PERSON. He or she will help the massage practitioner set a schedule, publicize the program, and sign people up. PROVIDE SPACE. A conference room, break room, or quiet corner is fine. After the day's sessions, the space can return to normal use. ENCOURAGE EMPLOYEES TO USE IT. Make sure they know you support the program. Use it yourself and encourage your managers to do the same.

IS IT COST EFFECTIVE? YES! Seated massage is quite affordable. Because it is shorter than a regular table massage, it cost proportionately less. Ask your massage practitioner for exact prices since cost varies by locale. Your minimal expenses for in-house coordination and publicity will be more than offset by these savings: There is no up-front investment in equipment or facilities. You pay only for employees who use it. Employees can pay part or all of the cost. Massages can take place on break time so no work time is lost. Two massages a month cost much less per employee than most other health programs.

IT EXCELS AS A WELLNESS PROGRAM IT'S CONVENIENT. No need to change clothes, shower, or leave work to participate. RESULTS ARE IMMEDIATE. Most wellness programs take months to show results. IT'S EASY AND SAFE. No special fitness level or training is required to receive a massage. EFFECTS ARE CUMULATIVE. You avoid two common problems: spending more selling a program than on the program itself, and then having it used most by employees who need it least. IT ENCOURAGES OTHER STEPS TO WELLNESS. Regular massage helps people feel better and can motivate them to take care of themselves with diet, exercise or other lifestyle changes.
