The benefits of corporate massage are far reaching for employees and
employers alike. If you’re thinking about bringing chair massage into
the office, you probably want to know what the benefits of chair massage
might look like for your office.
Benefits of Corporate Chair Massage for the Employees
Many
of the benefits of chair massage for your employees are similar to the
benefits of getting a full body massage at a spa, but in the comfort and
convenience of your workplace. Onsite massage eliminates the need to
travel to a massage clinic or spa, and is a fraction of the cost. Plus chair massage makes massage therapy
accessible to those within your organization who are uncomfortable
getting undressed and would otherwise never experience massage without
it.We have collected and analyzed the research
out there on this subject, and have put it all together to answer your
questions. All the studies used here have been done on EMPLOYER-PROVIDED 15-20 minute chair massages at work. Here is what we found. 1. Reduces stress: A
whopping 85% stress reduction! Stress levels measured before and after
each massage found one of the biggest benefits of seated massage therapy
to be a seriously effective office stress reliever. 2. Decreases anxiety and depression: One
of the big benefits of office massages is that massage reduces anxiety
by 26% and depression scores also improve by 28% after the massage. 3. Relieves muscle tension and pain:
Back pain is literally cut in half with regular corporate chair
massages. A decrease of 48% decrease was seen in the studies on back
pain and tension. 4. Improves quality of sleep: Over
multiple studies, the average improvement in sleep quality was 28%.
That includes increased duration as well as fewer sleep disturbances. 5. Relieves headaches: Headaches are decreased by an average of 48% in duration and intensity with regular onsite massages. 6. Lowers blood pressure: Across
multiple studies, there was an average of a 6% drop in blood pressure,
which may not sound like a lot. But that’s literally the difference
between a hypertensive blood pressure and normal one, and that’s without
any medication at all! Plus these studies showed that there was a
lasting effect and the benefits of corporate massage programs showed
very clearly as the massage group continued to have lower blood pressure
than the control groups for weeks after treatment stopped. 7. Prevents repetitive strain injuries: On employees doing repetitive movements, weekly chair massage reduces the occurrence of repetitive stress injuries by 37%. 8. Increases immune function: In
the studies on immune function, the good cells of the body perform 35%
better as one of the benefits of corporate chair massage, and this is
especially true for auto immune and inflammatory illnesses. 9. Treats carpal tunnel and tendonitis: One
of the benefits of chair massage programs is that people with carpal
tunnel and tendonitis issues see a decrease in pain and discomfort by
14%. 10. Increases focus, energy and mental clarity: After
chair massages, employees in two studies show increased alertness,
speed and accuracy on math computations following treatment. These numbers are all from 15-20 minute chair massages at work!
Benefits of Corporate Chair Massage for the Employer
The return
on your investment is seen instantly. An in-office massage will help

Now
what do all those benefits for the employees translate into for your
company? What is this really going to do for the bottom line? 1. Increase employee productivity: Employees
simply give more to organizations who take good care of them. And that
extra alertness, focus and mental clarity doesn’t hurt either. Corporate
massage therapy contributes to alleviating employee headaches, back
pain and anxiety. This allows them to give all their focus to their
jobs. 2. Attract top talent: In
our competitive marketplace, it pays to have an ace up your sleeve.
There are lots of fun and creative perks to help draw top talent in to
your organization, and massage is at the top of the list. 3. Increase employee retention: In
addition to attracting top talent, that talent will stick around when
they feel appreciated. After you’ve worked hard to hire and train some
new talent in your organization, keep them. One of the benefits of
seated massage programs is that you won’t see that investment walking
over to your competitor’s office. 4. Decrease Worker’s Compensation claims: This
goes back to the employee benefits of treating carpal tunnel and
tendonitis, and preventing repetitive stress injuries. Since those
issues are being effectively addressed, the number of Worker’s Compensation claims goes down. 5. Reduce Health Care Costs: In a recent study on the effects of corporate massage on health care costs,
employees experiencing low back pain that received chair massage spent
31% less on doctor’s visits and prescription medication.Plus,
as shown in the employee benefits section, some of the most expensive
health care conditions dramatically improve with regular onsite chair
massage, thereby reducing costs as an employer as well.
