Designed to complement office and hybrid working, seated on-site massage is the ideal way to reward, de-stress and provide an office experience that not only helps employees feel truly valued, but one that can also result in increased productivity and presence at work!
Don't underestimate the impact a short 15-20 minute massage can have on well-being, reduction in work absenteeism and in turn reducing costs to businesses for employees off for stress, burn out and musculoskeletal pain!
All that is required for seated massage in your office or at an event, is a secluded space approximately 2 x 3m in space as a minimum, to locate the specialised massage chair, and enable the therapist to work around it.
