Corporate Massage for the Workplace
“Studies indicate an average improvement of 30-40% in sickness rates in companies that introduce a workplace wellness program.”(1)
Workplace massage is one of the most popular additions to the workplace wellness program, and it is a simple, cost effective way to;
-
Reduce workplace stress (2)
-
Increase productivity and work performance (3)
-
Reduce muscle pain and physical tension (4) (5)
-
Improve staff morale
Regular massage helps people to feel better and can motivate them to look after themselves and make positive healthier life choices. Importantly these effects are cumulative and leads to a less stressful and more productive work environment. We run corporate massage for your workplace, your business just has to supply a space, an office, the lunch room or even a quiet corner. In fact depending on the workplace setting seated massage requires very little space and can be set up almost anywhere. Though if you have the space and require longer sessions a massage table can just as easily be brought in.
Low cost options include either user pays (employee) for a small fee or depending on your workplace your employer may decide to cover all or part of the costs as part of their OH&S strategy.
