Frequently Asked Questions

What is Corporate Chair Massage?

Corporate Chair Massage is a type of massage designed to address the stress-reduction needs of the workplace. Jennifer, a fully trained and insured  Massage Practitioner performs a 15-minute neck, back and shoulder massage with the employee fully clothed and seated in a specially designed chair. The seated massage session is structured to elicit a “relaxation response” in the neck, back and shoulder muscles, the key areas where employees experience stress from repetitive tasks like keyboarding and telephone work. Combined with soothing low-key music, a seated massage session triggers a relaxing and energizing response.

 

How much space is needed?

Space requirements are minimal - only a small 6'x 6' area is needed for Jennifer to set up her massage chair and have enough room to move around comfortably. 

 

How does Corporate Chair Massage differ from massage therapy?

Massage ‘therapy’ is performed by a Registered Massage Therapist, a medical professional who has been trained to treat injury and provide rehabilitation after injury.  Chair Massage is performed by a massage practitioner who is fully trained to relieve stress-related discomforts and induce a state of relaxation.

Massage Practitioners are not trained to treat injuries or provide rehabilitation. Each massage recipient is screened. If massage therapy is required, they will be advised to seek medical attention. 

 

Is Corporate Chair Massage a proactive, preventative strategy?

Corporate Chair Massage is designed to address stress-related discomforts that often arise as a result of keyboarding, telephone work or other repetitive tasks. A Massage Practitioner is specifically trained to perform this type of massage. Chair massage follows a specific format, designed to cover the back, neck, shoulders, arms and hands. It lasts about 15 minutes. It is a hybrid of several massage techniques, including accupressure, shiatsu and some traditional Swedish massage.

 

Do company insurance plans cover Corporate Chair Massage sessions?

Yes and No. Workplace Chair Massage is a preventative wellness strategy. It qualifies for coverage if the benefit package includes ‘individual discretionary funds’, funds that the employee can use for complimentary services like relaxation massage, nutrition counselling or health club fees.

Some plans require a doctor’s certificate to obtain coverage. This type of benefit is designed to address specific injuries. In this case, Corporate Chair Massage is generally not covered.

 

What kinds of companies use Workplace Wellness initiatives?

Generally, companies that employ highly trained, skilled workers are offering Wellness programs in workplace. There is a recognition that good employees are expensive to recruit and train and often the workplace is very stressful. Many employees are front line, interacting with the client, for instance in the call center environment. The employee needs to remain focused and alert in order to address the needs of the customer. A 15-minute stress-buster workplace massage is a great way to refresh and re-energize an employee.

 

Is there a business case for a Wellness program? Yes!

  • Health Canada reports on its Web site a Return On Investment of $3.40 on each corporate dollar invested in wellness initiatives. The return is in the form of reduced turnover, productivity gains and decreased medical claims.
  • Research . Chair massage contributes to increased productivity with substantially fewer errors. The University of Miami studied the effects of a series of chair massage sessions. They determined that the massage recipients did computation tests in half the time with half as many errors as they did before the study.
  • Wellness initiatives attract excellent employees. Many companies use a wellness program to attract potential employees to work for their company. It is an excellent non-verbal way to communicate a sense of care for the well being of the employee.

 

What payment methods do you accept?

Cash, Visa, Mastercard and Debit through Interac are all accepted forms of payment.

 

Are gratuities or tips expected or included?

Gratuities are not expected or necessary, however they are an excellent way to let the massage practitioner know that they've done an outstanding job. If you choose to tip, the average amount is 10 - 15%.
