On-Site Massage

On-Site Chair Massage is a fast, effective and versatile form of stress release which can ease a number of back, neck and shoulder problems and increase the mobility of the tired, aching upper limbs. No wonder it has been so popular in the Western world!

The practice as we know it today is based on a form of massage known as 'Amma' massage meaning 'press and rub', which was introduced to Japan 1500 years ago! The intention of this acupressure massage is to promote a sense of well-being. The massage sequence that includes the neck, shoulders, back, arms, hands and scalp is designed to specifically enhance circulation, making clients feel vibrant and refreshed.

On-site massage is probably the fastest growing segment of bodywork in Britain and Europe. Developed in the USA in the 1980's, by 1990's it had gained popularity and some therapists have been building their practices around chair massage ever since.
Unlike more traditional massage techniques, this treatment is performed on a special chair in a forward reclining position. The massage can be anything from 5 minutes onwards and, as it is perforemd with the client remaining fully clothed and no oil is used, it can be performed almost anywhere, making it a quick and effective treatment in the workplace.

As pressures in the working environment increase, this can leave employees feeling tired and stressed. A neck, back and shoulder massage releases muscle tension. For the employer, a happy workforce is a productive workforce - On-Site Chair Massage encourages staff efficiency, productivity and morale, reduces absenteesm and helps retain staff. Several well known companies, and many smaller ones, are beginning to appreciate the benefits that it can bring.
