Office massage has always been our most popular office wellness treatment but now more than ever employers are incentivising staff to spend more time in the office after the pandemic years. Office massage sessions are an excellent way to offer employees a benefit they won’t be getting at home!
How does an office massage session work?
Chair massage can be performed at the desk or in a chill out zone. In addition to a classic chair massage we can offer Deep Tissue, Sports, Swedish and Aromatherapy amongst others. This is the quickest and most cost-efficient way to show your employees that you care about their health and wellbeing and that you appreciate their hard work. A short format chair massage of 15-20 mins acts as a reset button for employees who are close to burning out. For longer sessions of 30 mins or more we can offer a massage bed instead of a chair if preferred.

5 Key Benefits of Office massage
Office massage has many benefits that can prevent employee burnout. It is a wonderful way to show your team that you care about them. It is also a fantastic way to make wellness a priority within your organization. Benefits contribute to a reduction in health care costs, reduced absence from work due to sickness, improvements in productivity, increased employee loyalty and a strong boost to morale. Read on to learn about the major benefits of office massage.
# 1 – REDUCES OUR STRESS HORMONE: Research shows that massage therapy can lower blood pressure while boosting serotonin and dopamine. Office massage sessions can reduce anxiety while increasing relaxation and improving overall mood during the working day.
# 2 – BOOSTS TEAM MORALE: Participating in as little as 10-15 minute chair massage sessions, employees can enjoy an increase in endorphin levels, boosting their body’s natural ability to “feel good”. Employees that are offered office massage as a regular benefit also feel more appreciated and this in turn promotes loyalty to the business / employer.
# 3 – RELIEVES WORKPLACE RELATED MUSCLE TENSION: It is extremely common to hunch over your desk for hours at a time without even realising how long you’ve been in the same position for. This causes stiffness in the shoulders and neck. Massage therapy relieves muscle tension, relieving chronic aches and pains which makes them less likely to develop into more severe problems. It can also help to encourage better posture.
# 4 – TREATS SOME HEALTH CONDITIONS: By promoting circulation, reducing inflammation and removing metabolic residue, massage therapy can treat numbness, tingling, pain or dull aches in the fingers, hands or wrist caused by carpal tunnel syndrome.
# 5 – INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY: A short format office massage is like a reset button for employees who are close to burning out. Chair massage increases mental focus, reduces stress and reduces chronic pain associated with sitting all day, ultimately increasing productivity. Employees that are being taken care of and considered by their employers are more likely to feel motivated and want to give back to the business.
