What is it?
Chair Massage (or on-site or seated massage or workplace massage) refers to a brief bodywork session, done in an ergonomically designed chair in which the client sits facing toward the cushions, exposing the scalp, shoulders, neck, arms, hands, back, and hips. Because clients remain fully clothed and a session takes less time (and money!) than full table massage, it has become a popular way to introduce the general public to the benefits of professional massage. Sessions may last between fifteen and thirty minutes.

Workplace Massage or Chair Massage at the Office
One of the main contributors to our everyday stress is our workplace. 70% of workers surveyed by a national survey stated that their job is very stressful. Stress is the #1 cause of disability. It costs employers billions of dollars a year on lost productivity and healthcare costs. Since workplace is stressful, it makes sense to provide some means of stress relief at the workplace. Chair massage counters the circulatory problems inherent with office work and provides an appreciated break for employees. Sitting in a massage chair opens up the back muscles, relieves strain on the neck and provides a gentle respite for eyes usually glued to a computer monitor. More and more employers are recognizing that even a fifteen minute massage can reduce the physical and mental effects of stress, thus reducing burnout and stress related diseases. Companies now offer massage therapy not only as a perk, but also to increase their employees' productivity and morale. Most companies contract with massage therapists who schedule appointments with employees during breaks.
