Businesses across America are discovering something that athletes have known for many years–massage improves performance. Not just athletic performance, but performance in general.
Most people have a pretty good idea about the health benefits of a massage on a massage table in a spa. But you may not know about chair massage.
Seated chair massages can reduce stress, fatigue and pain. They also can improve function of the immune system, improves a depressive state, and increase a person’s ability to concentrate. Seated chair massage has been shown to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation while simultaneously enhancing employee alertness.
Physicians and health care providers have now come to the conclusion that there is a correlation between stress and disease and stress related ailments are the main cause of productivity decline in the workplace. More than half of all employee absence can be attributed to stress induced high blood pressure, headache, and even chronic pain. Massage as a stress management tool fits well into the corporate world’s business leaders.
Major corporations including the Ford Motor Company, American Airlines, and Bank of America are enjoying the benefits of on-site seated, fully-clothed chair massage. They are finding that massage optimizes employee performance and mental alterness. But you don’t have to be a major corporation to benefit from a seated chair massage. If you have one employee or many, all will benefit from a seated chair massage.
