In today’s fast-paced work environment, stress is inevitable. Deadlines, meetings, and long hours at a desk can take a toll on both mental and physical health. But what if there was a way to help your team feel relaxed, refreshed, and more productive—without them even leaving the office? Enter onsite workplace chair massage.


Why Onsite Chair Massage?


Onsite chair massage brings wellness directly to your team. Licensed massage therapists visit your workplace, offering professional massages in a portable, ergonomic chair. Employees can enjoy a quick 10-15 minute session that focuses on relieving tension in the neck, back, and shoulders—common areas of strain for desk workers.


Benefits for Employees

1. Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Massage lowers cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and promotes a sense of calm.

2. Improved Focus and Productivity: A quick massage boosts circulation and energy levels, helping employees tackle tasks with renewed focus.

3. Relief from Physical Discomfort: Massage alleviates common workplace complaints like back pain, stiff shoulders, and headaches.

4. Boosted Morale: Offering perks like chair massage shows employees that their well-being matters.


Benefits for Employers

1. Increased Employee Engagement: Happy, healthy employees are more motivated and engaged in their work.

2. Reduced Absenteeism: Regular massage can lower stress-related illnesses, reducing sick days.

3. Positive Company Culture: Wellness perks like onsite massage make your company more attractive to current and prospective employees.

4. Improved Team Dynamics: A relaxed team is a collaborative team.


How It Works

1. Scheduling: Choose a day and time that works best for your team. Many companies schedule regular sessions, such as once a month or quarterly.

2. Setup: Massage therapists bring all the equipment they need, requiring minimal space and no disruption to the office.

3. Sessions: Employees sign up for time slots (usually 10-20 minutes). Each session is tailored to the individual’s needs, focusing on problem areas.


Making Workplace Wellness a Priority

Incorporating onsite chair massage into your workplace wellness program is an investment in your team’s health and happiness. It’s a small gesture that yields significant results—reduced stress, increased productivity, and a thriving company culture.


Take the first step toward a healthier workplace by booking onsite chair massage for your team today. Because when your employees feel their best, they do their best.



A seated chair massage might be more than a luxury that leaves you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. It can have positive health implications. In just 10 minutes, your blood pressure and heart rate decrease, Dr. Tiffany Field, founder of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine told "More" magazine. Any type of massage, including chair massage, can reduce stress, improve sleep, help sore and tight muscles and enhance immunity.

Chair massage offered at the workplace can improve productivity and reduce stress. A study published in the "Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine" in 2011 found that twice a week chair massages decreased musculoskeletal aching and pain and increased range of motion after one month. "Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice" in 2012 reported a study showing that offering 15-minute chair massages to nurses during work hours significantly reduced their stress. When employees aren't hurting and aren't stressed, they're more able to focus on job-related tasks.
