Revitalize Your Organization With A Stress Reducing Chair Massage
Whether or not you care to admit it, stress is a fact of life that has crept its ugly head into your organization. Rapidly changing technology, looming deadlines, and interpersonal conflicts are just a few of the workplace issues your employees cope with on a daily basis. The effects of stress are cumulative, and if your employees aren't given effective tools to help them deal with it, they'll eventually wind up on the receiving end of illnesses or issues like: Whether on the job or off, stress is costing American businesses (including yours) over $200 billion per year due to reduced productivity in the form of absenteeism and presenteeism, and rising health care costs in the form of increased disability and workers compensation claims. The fact is that it really doesn't matter whether the source of stress is caused by the job, a crisis at home, or simply the everyday challenges of a hectic life-style. Stress will affect your bottom line.
Studies on the physiological effects of massage performed by the University of Miami Touch Research Institute found that blood levels of the stress hormone cortisol were decreased, and alertness was enhanced in participants who received a 15 minute chair massage twice a week for 5 weeks. Participants were able to complete basic math problems in significantly less time with significantly fewer errors than participants who did not receive the 15 minute chair massage sessions.
Simply put, when your employees are feeling good, they'll do a good job for your company. If they're feeling crappy, guess what, their productivity level will reflect it. A 15 minute chair massage with a Back in Business massage therapist will leave your employees feeling relaxed & more aware. For the same amount of time spent on a coffee break or running outside for a smoke, they can experience the effects of taking a vacation without ever having to leave the office.
