Onsite Seated Massage

One of the perils of our hectic modern pace of life is the onslaught of stress related disorders and ailments. Stress and strain are our frequent companions at the workplace. We spend a large part of our day seated in a chair; we move around very little; we tend to worry more as our duties and liabilities have doubled over the last few decades; and we are always stressed. No wonder, there has been such an increase in stress related complaints in the last few years!

Unfortunately, our workplace is where we face maximum stress. The tension level is high and there is a lot of work pressure on the mind and the body. Most of us cannot afford to indulge in the luxury of taking a couple of days off from our weekly schedule for a soothing massaging session at home or at some therapy center. With onsite seated massage services, however, you may never have to leave your office, and can receive all the benefits of a good rubdown while remaining seated in your chair.

Onsite seated massage has made it easy for busy executives and other working professionals to reduce their stress levels and feel reenergized without having to reschedule or skip a meeting. It’s all in a day’s work. Research shows that even a brief 15-minute chair massage can dramatically reduce job stress, improve alertness and increased speed and accuracy on mathematical computations.

Some of the startling statistics about stress related complaints at the workplace are as follow:

· Office workers who regularly received some form of massaging were found to be more alert and better performers. They also had lower stress levels than the others.

· Stress-related complaints comprise almost 90% of all visits to primary care physicians.

· Stress-related disorders account for $26 billion in medical and disability payments.

· They also result in $95 billion worth of lost productivity annually. In fact, over 50% of lost workdays are stress related.

· People with complaints of high stress levels spend 50% more in various healthcare services than those without.

Onsite seated massage benefits not only the recipient, but also the company. Both the business and its employees are benefited. Some of the corporate benefits include,

· Increased employee retention and lower attrition.

· Improved productivity.

· Enrichment of the corporate culture.

· Drop in absenteeism.

The employees enjoy a handful of direct benefits such as

· Enhanced creative thinking and increased motivation

· Lowered anxiety and hostility

· Relief from fatigue

· Strengthening of immunity

· Improved problem solving capabilities.

Onsite seated massage is fast changing the way today’s businesses are coping with the debilitating effects of stress. All one needs to do is contact an onsite seated massage service provider (the Internet can quickly put you in touch with a dozen good ones instantly) and schedule a session. Licensed, professional practitioners will travel to your office, with all the equipment they need (even ergonomically designed massage chairs) and in less than 30 minutes, the management and the staff will be rejuvenated, with lower stress levels, enhanced mental clarity and increased productivity. The beauty of the process is that participants can choose to remain fully clothed as no oil or lotion is used.
