Chair massages feel good. But do they have any other benefits beyond momentary sensory happiness? What place could they possibly have in the workplace? According to a recent Forbes article, massage actually has a very productive place in every office! Massage isn’t just a way to spoil yourself and your employees; it’s actually an essential method of rejuvenation to keep your business at its best at all times.
How can mobile chair massage benefit the employer?
- Increase your productivity. According to research logged in the US National Library of Medicine, massage improves brainpower. Compared to people who received no massage, those who did exhibit increased speed and accuracy in performing computations and other basic brain functions. Their brains were more alert and less stressed both in the short run and in the long run.
- Get your creative juices flowing. According to the experience Massage Kneads has witnessed (at regular client sites), many clients experience sudden bursts of creativity after receiving massages. She believes this is because massage helps people to relax and see situations more clearly. When you are able to better assess a situation, you are able to find better solutions to problems. Massage can help you to see the bigger picture so that you can better strategize for your business and better perform smaller tasks to keep the business heading in the right direction.
- Help you sleep and fight disease. According to the American Massage Therapy Association, “Massage therapy increases the activity level of the body’s white blood cells that work to combat viruses.” Sickness often either keeps employees from work or keeps them from performing their best. With better-functioning white blood cells, workers are likely to be performing at the top of their game. Mobile chair massage also promotes deep sleep, which helps to restore the body and repair daily wear.
- Reduce pain and stress. Massage helps to loosen up muscles that may have become tight due to everyday stressors. Desk jobs can be very hard to do well when one feels a lot of tension in their neck or back, so a neck or back massage allows them to focus more on their work and less on the pain.
