Massage in the workplace

With stress and anxiety levels reaching epidemic proportions, it is very important to find ways to help keep employees healthy and happy.
Integrating  massage within your workplace wellness program is an excellent way to reduce repetitive strain injuries, as well as maintaining lower overall stress levels. Studies show that a well implemented program more than pays for itself in reduced turnover, reduced sick days and increased productivity.

Chair massage targets specific key areas such as the neck, back, and shoulders where many workplace injuries occur, such as Repetitive Stress Injuries, caused by repeated physical movements,  as well as Tendinitis, Carpal Tunnel  Syndrome or Cumulative Trauma Disorder, caused by increased use of computers in the workplace.  Chair massage programs are a relatively inexpensive way (...it often pays for itself! )  to manage these types of injuries, and work in conjunction with ergonomics in the workplace.  Other  benefits of chair massage include:
 
  • a boost to productivity;
  • enhanced creativity, problem-solving, energy and focus;
  • increased employee morale, loyalty, motivation and company pride;
  • reduced stress, absenteeism and stress-related illness;
  • lowered incidence of conflict and employee absenteeism;
  • increased employee job satisfaction;
  • acknowledged sense of worth and appreciation for employees' health and wellbeing; 
  • rewarded employee performance;     
  • increased ability to attract and retain top-quality employees, while reducing the cost of employee turnover;
  • decreased workers compensation claims;        
  • inexpensive,tax-deductible perk.
