On-Site Chair Massage - "Hands @ Work"

What Exactly is Chair Massage?

Chair Massage is basic Swedish (relaxation) massage techniques performed while the client is seated in a specially designed massage chair.  The client sits on the chair, which leans slightly forward, placing their face/head on a rounded "face cradle" and their arms on a padded arm rest.   The chair allows the client to fully relax so the massage therapist can work on the back, neck and shoulders, as well as arms and hands during the massage session. 

Will I Need To Remove Any Clothing for a Chair Massage?

There is no need to remove any clothing, except possibly jackets or very bulky sweaters.  Typically no lotion or oil is used during the massage session, so there is no "clean up" or sticky feel afterwards.  Sometimes a little lotion will be used on the forearms and hands to assist with the massage strokes.  For those that have never experienced massage of any type, chair massage is the perfect "introduction"---a short massage session, with no uncomfortable feelings from removing clothing, yet immediate benefits of relaxation and muscle tension release.

How Long Does a Chair Massage Last?

A typical chair massage lasts 15 - 20 minutes.  Surprisingly, even though the time frame isn't very long, remarkable results can be obtained during the massage.  Clients with tightness in their neck and shoulders, headache, and backache are often relieved of this discomfort after a chair massage session.  They report feeling refreshed and relaxed, ready to get back to work.

Can A Massage Be Longer Than Just 15 Minutes?

A definite YES!!  Depending on the arrangement for chair massage at a workplace, clients can often sign up for back-to-back sessions of chair massage.  This would allow them to have approximately 30 minutes on the chair instead of the basic 15 minutes.  A variety of plans are available for a workplace to consider when scheduling a chair massage session, and we will tailor your program to what suits your workplace best.

How Does Payment Work?

There are two types of payment arrangements we use for chair massage:  A per-person amount ($15), and an hourly amount ($45 per therapist).  The number of people that will be participating, and the time frame we have to work within, are factors we use to determine how to charge.  If an employer wants to "treat" all the employees to their chair massages, we will charge a $45/hour/therapist amount.  This allows the employer to determine the length of the massage sessions, and how long we are to be on location to give the massages.  If the employees will be paying for their own massages, we charge the $15 rate per person.  The massage session will last the standard 15 minutes, with possible options to sign up for additional time slots.

Where Do You Perform The Chair Massages?

Anywhere!!  We require a minimal amount of space---basically enough room for a chair (or 2 or 3) and the therapists to move around them.  We often work in break rooms, conference rooms, book rooms, office areas.  We will set up wherever an employer wants us to---out of the main flow of traffic and easy for employees to find.  We often bring a CD player with relaxing music, so an area with electric outlets is helpful, but not necessary. 

Do You Offer Other Massage Services?

Absolutely!!  Just click on the "Services Offered" link to see a full description of massage services offered at our offices.

How Often Can Chair Massages Be Scheduled?

As often as an employer would like to offer the service.  We are flexible, and require only a couple of weeks notice to schedule a visit to any workplace.  Sometimes, if a group is small, we can schedule within a few days of being contacted.   Some groups schedule with us monthly, some schedule quarterly, others schedule for "special occasions"---treating their employees after a particular project is completed or as a holiday "gift".  Any arrangement is workable---just ask and give us your ideas!
