Chair Massage

Chair Massage

The best 20 minutes of your day!

Prevention

When our bodies were “designed”, sitting daily for hours was not factored in. People with desk jobs often struggle with neck, back, and shoulder pain. And let's be honest, we frequently alternate the office chair for an other seat, like the car seat, famous fat bike or couch... This is the reality for many. During a massage, space is created for normalizing muscle tension, increasing awareness, and preventing further discomfort. We also provide tips for incorporating more movement.


Why is prolonged sitting so taxing for our muscles?

Sitting still is hard on muscles because it reduces blood circulation, meaning muscles receive less oxygen and nutrients, which slows down metabolism and increases the risk of muscle stiffness and discomfort. When added pressure from work tasks is involved, our nervous system takes it a step further. Triggering the fight-or-flight response, we unconsciously tense our muscles, making them even less flexible, which can lead to pain. Lastly, there's often poor posture involved, and the recipe for discomfort is complete...

What does the Massage bring

The Effects, based on 20 years of Experience

  • Employees experience it as a form of appreciation.
  • A refreshing brain break, leaving employees feeling calm and refreshed.
  • The whole body receives better oxygenation and nutrients, hereby easing painful muscles. It is effective for neck, shoulder, and back pain, as well as tension headaches.
  • It makes people more aware of the current state of their body and stress levels.
  • The awareness and attention help them to:
    • stay more alert to their posture and needs throughout the week
    • Take action if needed (we recommend appropriate therapy)
  • Insight: In cases of high stress, people's concerns surface during the massage, whether in words or tears. It can be a moment of realization where the person decides to take the necessary action.
  • A safe space to be, talk about dreams, worries, and obstacles with an independent person also contributes to awareness and health (we have a confidentiality obligation).
  • Normalization of blood pressure and heart rate.
  • Levels of stress and anxiety hormones are reduced. This is important because through the nervous system stress leads to increased muscle tension.
