Benefits of Seated Chair Massage
Workplace fatigue is a common problem. Any office worker whose wrists ache, whose shoulders feel as if they are wadded up paper, or whose neck is so stiff it is difficult to turn their head will recognize the symptoms of workplace stress and fatigue.
According to David Palmer, co-developer of the first massage chair and founder of the TouchPro Institute in San Francisco, most office-related physical symptoms can be attributed to loss of circulation. Tight muscles caused by stress and sitting behind a desk all day, especially at a work station that is not ergonomically designed, can impede blood and lymph flow through the body. The result is mental fogginess, decreased energy and susceptibility to repetitive stress injuries, like carpal tunnel syndrome.
- A seated massage enhances circulation, counteracting the circulatory problems commonly encountered by office workers.
- A seated massage gives employees a well-needed break from their daily routine.
Seated massage, also called a chair massage, is performed at the work place. Employees are seated

upright on a special massage chair and remain fully clothed. No oils are used, so there is no concern about stains on clothing. The chair is lightweight and portable, enabling it be set up in virtually any office or break room.
