Seated & Chair Massage
Studies by the Touch Research Institute in Florida show that the benefits of seated
massage have quick results. Immediately after massage sessions, the subjects
experienced a change in brain waves in the direction of heightened alertness and
better performance on math problems (completed in less time with fewer problems).
At the end of a five week study period, subjects reported reduced job stress and
elevated moods. This was in addition to the usual benefits of massage, relief of
muscular tension, revitalized energy and a stronger immune system. The study's
findings are significant in that the International Labour Organization states in its 1993
World Labour Report that job stress costs the U.S. economy $200 billion annually
through diminished productivity, compensation claims, absenteeism, health insurance,
and direct medical expenses.
Techniques Used
Seated massage utilizes Acupressure and Swedish massage to relieve tension.
Though beginning at a slower pace, the work moves a little faster as the therapist
proceeds. The session ends with quick, revitalizing strokes in order to bring the client
back to a state of full consciousness. Chair massages are typically 15-45 minutes in
length.
Safety
The therapist will demonstrate the procedure for getting on and off the massage chair
for those not familiar with its use. Positioning is very important and the practitioner will
check regularly to be sure the client's alignment remains correct
