Human resource officers have, over the past decade or so, began to understand how massage therapy can benefit their employees. Employees that sit at a desk for most of their day are at risk for carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain, back pain and tension headaches. Because of these issues, many companies have started to invite massage therapists into the office to provide stress and tension relief to their staff.
Massage therapists that specialize in corporate massages use portable massage chairs. These chairs are specially designed to be lightweight and easy to haul. Usually made from aluminum, these chairs can be transported from office to office with ease. Employees can lie forward with their faces comfortably resting in a face cradle. This type of massage is performed without the use of oils and you can continue to wear your office attire.
Portable massage chairs have revolutionized the massage therapy industry. Massage therapists now have the ability and flexibility to take their business just about anywhere. Not only are corporate massages becoming mainstream, but therapists are also more commonly “setting up shop” at other places. Shopping malls, discount stores and grocery chains are among some of the venues that massage therapists frequent. One of the most popular alternative locations for a massage therapist is to bring a portable massage chair is the beach. Customers love getting a relaxing massage while listening to the peaceful sound of the waves crashing into the shore.
By using portable massage chairs to set up at corporate offices and other locations, massage therapists can increase their visibility and client base. Offering fifteen to twenty minute massages is a great way to increase their income and it is beneficial to the employees and business productivity. Human resource personnel are usually very receptive to massage therapist visits because employees look forward to receiving a massage to relieve the stress and monotony of their days.
