Massage Therapy as an Employee Benefit

Most people spend more hours at work than anywhere. In fact, the typical American works approximately 47 hours a week which is at least 164 hours more than the average 20 years ago. Given these statistics it’s no wonder workplace health and wellness programs are gaining in popularity.

A growing number of organizations, large and small are adding alternative health practices such as therapeutic chair massage to their existing wellness programs as a way to prevent work-related injuries, stress and job fatigue. In addition to chair massage being safe, convenient and cost-effective there are many valuable benefits.

What are the benefits of on-site Chair Massage?

Massage helps increase employee performance and productivity as well as:

  • Reduces absenteeism and employee turnover
  • Raises employee morale & loyalty
  • Helps prevent repetitive stress injuries
  • Reduces physical and mental stress
  • Reduces muscle soreness due to poor posture and neck strain
  • Reduces anxiety, lower heart rate and blood pressure

Studies have shown that happy, healthy employees contribute to a company’s success. Massage Therapy can help decrease stress and increase energy throughout your entire organization.

Massage Therapy – Much More Than A Luxury

If you’ve ever felt guilty paying for a massage, you’re not alone. Nowadays massage therapy is so much more than luxury. Many of us don’t have a problem spending money to see a chiropractor, dentist or counselor as we see those services necessary for our overall health and wellbeing. But when it comes to spending money on a massage often times we hesitate because we tend to view massage therapy as more of a luxury item.

The Truth about Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy is one of the oldest healing arts in existence. Massage therapy should be viewed as a highly effective component of any comprehensive health and wellness regime. A therapeutic massage once a month (or more) can be an important part of your overall health program. If your only experience with massage is at a day spa or what you’ve seen on the television, you may be unaware of the therapeutic benefits that massage therapy offers. Massage therapy is beneficial to many ailments including:

  • Sciatica
  • Carpal tunnel
  • Whiplash
  • Scoliosis
  • Thoracic outlet syndrome
  • Back pain
  • Muscle and soft tissue injuries
  • Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Hypertension
  • Gout
  • Myofascial pain
  • Raynaud’s Disease
  • And much more!

If those aren’t reasons enough, massage therapy has also been shown to help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and a number of autoimmune diseases.
