That may be an oversimplification, but consider these powerful productivity benefits of a corporate Massage Therapy benefit plan:
  • Encourages the team concept
  • Decreases absenteeism
  • Lowers health care costs
  • Improves morale in the workplace

The bottom line is that Massage Therapy appeals to almost everyone and creates happier, healthier, more relaxed employees. And that’s a recipe for a more creative, energetic and productive team!

On-site Massage Therapy is an appropriate addition to any health benefits program or Wellness Plan. It’s also a wonderful way to reward and encourage excellence in individual or team performance. Massages are an appealing incentive and reward for successful completion of a big project, new product launch, sales promotion, employee recognition, employment anniversary, and much more.

Employees Choose from Two Types of Effective Massage Therapy Treatments
1. CHAIR MASSAGE - Conducted with the client fully clothed and at their desk or in a meeting room. Chair massage typically lasts 10-20 minutes.
2. TABLE MASSAGE - Conducted in a private room, the client is normally partially disrobed for table massage, but clients may remain fully dressed if they prefer. Table massage typically lasts 30 to 90 minutes.
Benefits to Personnel

The healthful effects of massage therapy have been carefully studied and documented. The University of Miami School of Medicine’s Touch Research Institute found that Chair Massage is helpful in decreasing blood pressure in people with hypertension, alleviating pain in migraine sufferers and improving alertness and performance in office workers.

Multiple research studies have shown massage to be beneficial in reducing heart rate, lowering blood pressure, increasing blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxing muscles, improving range of motion, and increasing endorphins. In addition, others have shown massage therapy to be beneficial in increasing immune function, decreasing chronic back pain, sub-acute back pain, and chronic headaches. In short, it’s good for what ails you!
