Massage in the workplace

Stress causes over 13.5 million sick days each year. In today's society we are working longer hours, using the most up to date technology to continue working on the bus, train, plane, or even at home. It is no wonder cases of stress in the workplace are rising. The 21st century worker has been overusing their muscles resulting from unbalanced sitting at the desk, creating tension, fatigue and sometimes pain. This in turn is leading to absenteeism, lack of moral and poor productivity.

Many companies are finding that massage therapy is an excellent way to relieve stress and anxiety within their workforce, often leaving employees with an increased feeling of energy and vitality. As well as the psychological effects a massage has on an individual it has also been proven to give physiological benefits such as:

• Increased blood circulation.
• Increased lymphatic circulation.
• Increased function of soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments).
• Improved skin condition.
• Increased elimination of toxins and waste.
• Increased postural awareness.
• Reduction in pain.
