Chair Massage Relieve Cramps More Effectively

These days we all work hard and play hard. Families are on the move between school, after-school activities, work, housework. I get it, we dont take time sit and relax. We can't always make it to the local spa for a massage. You may be one of the lucky ones whose company provides the relief of a chair massage!

    Some companies actually will provide on-the job chair massages. A masseuse will show up, equipment in hand, at the job site. These independent workers know that a massage will greatly reduce stress as well as aches and pains. Chair massage, unlike many others, is done while the recipient is fully clothed, so it can be done in public rather than in a private salon.



    My employer would never use this" - don't be so willing to say this. Many companies have on-site pharmacies, day care, even nap-rooms. When we consider this, a travelling masseuse, with equipment, seems like nothing. Especially to be used as an incentive or reward.

    Employers, do you want your employees to perform better? Of course you do. With health care for employees at a premium, surely it makes sense to have the benefit of massage provided. This is very beneficial to productivity and could lead to a reduction in absenteeism, making chair massage a benefit all around.

    When studying different languages, one cant deny how exciting it is to discover that many cultures have the same word and customs of massage. The word comes from the Latin word friction", as well as from the French word meaning friction or kneading", and the Arabic word “massa" meaning to touch, feel or handle.

    The art of massage dates way back, back to over 3000 years. It has been documented by the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians. They all applied forms of massage for many ailments, including stress, headaches and joint pain. Hippocrates even wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems.

    As my husband and I say, theres more to life than work and money. Sure, we need to pay the bills, keep the house, and have our girls involved in dance and music. Most employees just want to get the job done and go home. An employer who provides chair massage will relieve stress and have happy employees working toward an incentive (not just the pay check) . Massage doesn't involve medication, which can lead to drowsiness.

    My husband works in a busy office, drives miles and miles a day, and comes home with back and neck pain. If only his company would institute chair massage. He would perform so much better. Many mornings he is up with stress headaches, many evenings with back/shoulder pain. We know that this can be cured with chair massage. Well, until his company does offer it on-site, we are paying money that we feel is well spent at our local massage spa, where his stress and pains are worked out by a professional. Encourage your company to offer on-site chair massage. We are working on ours!
