The Chair Massage - A Great Pick Me Up

Sure you'd love a full body massage, but sometimes there just isn't time. That's when a chair massage could be just what you need.

Let's face it, when you think of a massage the first image that comes to mind is lying face down naked on a table while someone uses their hands to work your muscles. This type of massage produces the most benefit, but sometimes it's just not practical. As a result, the chair massage is gaining in popularity. You should understand that this will never be as good as the body massage on a table, but it can work wonders to help you get through the day. Certainly there are times when a quick rub down will relieve some stress, or even take away some of the pain you may be feeling from being seated all day.

It has been about 20 years since David Palmer first developed the chair massage. This was during the fast paced 80's working world, and the goal was simply to provide a quick way to reduce the stress and anxiety that could build up over the course of a day. The results were impressive. Business owners who supported and even paid for these quickie massages found out that their employees got more work done and morale improved greatly, especially among those who spend the entire day typing. Using a typewriter or keyboard all day is not natural, and the repeated movements led to an increase in carpal tunnel syndrome, back strain and shoulder strain. The chair massage provided a brief but much needed relaxing break that actually increased productivity.

Another thing that makes the chair massage so great is that it can be done almost anywhere. All that's needed is a specially designed chair. Nobody has to remove any clothing as the chair massage is done through your clothes. Basically, it is a series of deep massaging techniques. These techniques have been refined to allow a worker to be ride of stress and tension that typically build up in the muscles and tissues over a normal workday. These muscles become tight, and a chair massage relieves this tension. It is also less costly than a standard table body massage, and much faster as well. That makes it perfect for busy people in a busy work environment.
