Chair Massage Alleviate Hurts Sooner

Chair Massage Alleviate Hurts Sooner

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 don’t 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!

Many companies will provide chair massage for incentives to employees for hard work, or profitable numbers. What we do not all know (myself included until recently) is that massage in a chair can relieve many ailments from aches and pains to migraines and stress. The individual who will give this massage is usually an independent worker who will bring his/her own equipment to the work site. Unlike many massages, this one is done in a portable chair, fully clothed.

It sounds like such a luxury that no employer would do it” – really, check it out.

Lots of companies have on-site day care, pharmacies, and nap-rooms for employees. Compared to this, a masseuse who shows up with his/her own equipment once weekly is an easy deal. This is particularly realistic when an employer uses it as an incentive to work harder or as a reward for a job well done.

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.

I love studying different languages. It’s especially exciting when all cultures have the same word and customs. The word comes from the Latin word “friction”, as well as from the French word meaning “friction or kneading”, and the Arabic word “massage” meaning to touch, feel or handle.

Chinese records dating back 3,000 years document the use of massage.

The ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments; and even Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems. At the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, there were masseuses on hand for any injury that could be treated with it.

Now this gets more interesting. It is not something new, it doesn’t require strong prescription medication and it can be done in the office. Surely every employer wants happy employees, and every employee wants to be able to do his/her job as best as can be. Don’t we all work toward an incentive other than the pay check? For my husband and me, we just want to be able to work and support our family. We don’t want to become billionaires. Life is too short. We just want to get the job done, mortgage paid, extra-curricular dance and music for our girls.

As a wife I see my husband going to a busy office and driving in hours of traffic. He wakes up with back and neck pain. He is truly a hard worker, but the work day takes its toll on him. He stretches each morning, and goes in to the local spa for a chair massage. It makes him feel so much better. We wish this was something his company provided, but unfortunately, it is not. Employers, provide it, it will save you money long term!

As an employer, are you providing health care for your employees? Take chair massage into consideration. You will have fewer absences and better functioning individuals. They will produce great numbers and will be an overall benefit to the employer and employee.

When studying different languages, one can’t 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 frictio”, as well as from the French word meaning friction or kneading”, and the Arabic word massa” meaning to touch, feel or handle.

Massage isn’t a new form of stress/pain relief. It has been passed down through the ages and through many cultures, specifically Chinese. There are records dating back 3,000 years to document the use of massage. The ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments – even Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems.

As my husband and I say, there’s 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.

In the morning, before my husband begins his day, I encourage him to stretch out. He drives many miles a day and works in a busy office and with clients. His company doesn’t offer chair massage yet. We are hoping that soon they will begin to offer this, as I know it will help with the stress, head and neck pain. He does make an effort to go in for massages as he knows the benefits. We’re waiting until the company offers it and its done on their time for their benefit!
