Some companies actually will provide on-the job chair massages. A masseuse will show up, equipment in hand, at the job site. These independent workers know that a massage will greatly reduce stress as well as aches and pains. Chair massage, unlike many others, is done while the recipient is fully clothed, so it can be done in public rather than in a private salon.
Companies actually do this. Even though it sounds like a luxury, remember that a lot of larger companies have, on their premises, conveniences such as nap rooms and day care. A masseuse who will come to the site with equipment can be used to provide incentives or reward hard-working individuals, while relieving stress.
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.
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!
