On-site chair
massage is a simple, cost-effective way to:
- Relieve stress
- Improve employee morale
- Increase productivity
- Lower health care costs
- Show staff you care
What is Chair Massage?
On-site chair massage is a short massage which:
- Comes to your workplace
- Lasts from 10 to 30 minutes, uses no oil, and takes
place with the employee folly clothed.
- Usually 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.
I use a portable massage chair, designed for comfort
and support. It can be set up and dismantled quickly in
almost any location.
Chair Massage 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. Consistent use reinforces
the benefits.
- People enjoy it. You avoid two common problems: spending
more selling a program than on the program itself, and
having it used most by employees who need it the 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.
Chair Massage is a Versatile Benefit
Once on-site massage is in place, you may find it is
also a great way to recognize birthdays or service anniversaries,
provide incentive awards for good attendance or an accident-free
period, or give a bonus for achieving company and individual
goals or completing projects.
These uses are also an ideal way to try on-site massage
without an ongoing commitment.
Today stress is a fact of life, and the workplace is
no exception. Deadlines, rapidly changing technology,
and unavoidable interpersonal conflicts are just a few
of the stresses workers cope with daily.
The effects of stress are cumulative and, without time
to relax and recharge, can lead to:
- Headaches, backaches, eyestrain, neck pain.
- Repetitive use injuries such as tendinitis or carpal
tunnel syndrome.
- Listlessness, poor concentration, anxiety, depression,irritability,
or anger.
- Lowered resistance to colds and infections, high blood
pressure and heart disease.
- Physical and emotional exhaustion, also known as "burn-out."
Stress Costs You Money
Stress on or off the job costs U.S. workplaces an estimated
$200 billion a year in reduced productivity, accidents,
compensation claims, absenteeism, employee turnover, health
insurance and medical expenses. This is more than the
after-tax profits of all the Fortune 500 companies, and
10 times the cost of all strikes combined. recent studies
show:
- Up to 90% of all visits to primary care physicians
are for stress-related complaints.
- Up to 80% of industrial accidents are due to stress.
- Over 50% of lost work days are stress-related.
- 14% of workers say stress caused them to quit or change
jobs in the previous two years.
- Workers' compensation awards for job stress threaten
to bankrupt the system in some states.
On-site Chair Massage Can Help!
For over a decade, with on-site massage I have been
effectively relieving stress in the workplace for everyone
from CEOs to hourly workers. It works because massage:
- Reduces muscle tension and the pain it causes.
- Calms the nervous system and increases circulation,
which boosts energy and alertness.
- Helps employees identify and release tension on their
own before it becomes a problem.
- Provides a complete change of pace so the body and
mind can relax and rejuvenate.
Chair Massage is Easy to Set Up and Run
- Assign a contact person. He or she will help me set
a schedule and sign people up.
- Provide space. A conference room, break room, or a
quiet corner is fine.
- Encourage employees to use it. Make sure they know
you support the program. Use it yourself and encourage
your managers to do the same.

"I am the Human Resources Director
for Penn State Federal Credit Union. Some of my primary
concern are being able to recruit qualified staff, our
benefit package and the well being of the staff. One of
the things that we use to help in all of these areas is
therapeutic massage. Sandy has been coming to the Credit
Union providing, any staff who wish to have, a 10 minute
chair massage. All of my staff look forward to the day
that Sandy is coming. It not only helps improve morale
but it also helps with our customer service; happy staff
provide better service. I also have integrated Sandy's
services into a wellness program at the Credit union.
Stress is a reality in this day and age and massage helps
relieve that stress. Another benefit is that having Sandy
come in sets us apart when talking to potential staff
members in the interview process. All interviewees are
very impressed that we care enough about the staff to
provide this unique benefit. By the way, it isn't costly
at all; in fact, it is the least costly benefit we provide.
I highly recommend using Sandy's services as a benefit
for your staff. She is extremely professional and your
staff will thank you."
