Workplace & Chair Massage
More and more businesses are bringing massage into the workplace as
a way to reward workers - and to increase productivity through
reduced stress, neck and back pain, and headaches. Studies conducted
at the University of Miami have shown increases in alertness and a
lowering of stress hormone levels after short chair massage
sessions.
Hospitals, insurance companies, schools,
accounting firms, business offices and factories have all called
upon the Art of Massage to provide chair massage to their employees
in the workplace setting. People love the convenience of a ten
minute chair massage, and it makes the rest of the day easier and
more productive.

FAQ
A chair massage is a 15-20 minute massage that focuses on the high
tension areas of the neck, back, shoulders, arms & hands.
Chair massage is performed on an ergonomically designed portable
massage chair. You sit on the massage chair facing forward, with
your head in a facerest.
Chair massage is especially effective at
producing therapeutic results in a brief period of time by
concentrating the massage on the areas of greatest tension.
How much space is needed?
Space requirements are minimal - only a small 5' x 6' area is
needed for the therapist to set up their massage chair and have
enough room to move around comfortably.
Do I remove my clothing?
No. During a chair massage, you remain fully clothed. At most,
you may be asked to remove any jacket or obstructive jewelry during
the massage.
What can I expect during an average chair
massage.
During the 10, 15, 20 or 30 minute
session, the therapist will focus on relieving muscle tension
in your neck, shoulders, and back. If you'd like work on your arms
and hands please let the massage therapist know, but keep in mind
that this will mean less time on the other areas.
Will I
be tired afterward?
It's easy to mistake a sense of relaxation for fatigue. In our
experience, however, after a few minutes needed to "re-adjust" to
the surroundings - massage recipients are more alert and focused
then ever.
In fact, research has shown chair massage recipients to be even more
alert than before.
Are gratuiteis expected?
Gratuities are not expected or necesary, however they are an
excellent way to let the massage therapists know that they've done
an outstanding job. If you choose to tip, the average amount is
10-20%.
Are there contraindications for chair
massage?
Yes. Medical contraindications include but are not limited to:
uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled diabetes, fractures,
herniated discs, malignancy, numbness or tingling in any part of the
body especially the hands and feet. Please inform your massage
therapist of any acute or ongoing health conditions before the chair
massage.
Chair Massage in
