What is Chair Massage
Chair Massage or 'on-site' massage is performed on an ergonomically designed chair to give you the maximum comfort and support. The techniques used are based on Japanese acupressure and focuses on the back, shoulders, neck, head, arms and hands.
Most office-related physical symptoms can be attributed to loss of circulation. Tight muscles caused by stress and sitting behind a desk all day. The result is mental fogginess, decreased energy and susceptibility to repetitive stress injuries, like carpal tunnel syndrome.
Chair massage counters the circulatory problems inherent with office work and provide 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. Even 15 minutes of massage to the neck, back, arms and hands can increase circulation, returning energy levels and helping keep the body injury free.
No oils or creams are used and therefore can be applied over clothes. Our 20 minute chair massage will leave you feeling energised, relaxed, refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to face the rest of your day.
