Corporate Information for On-Site Chair Massage
On-site massage is an acupressure massage that is given over the clothes to a client seated on an ergonomically designed portable chair. This chair fully supports the client while allowing access to the back, neck, arms, hands & head.
The massage works to improve energy flow throughout the body and acts additionally on the muscular, nervous, skeletal and circulatory systems. It will help to reduce the accumulation of tension in the body. The sequence is designed to take approximately 15-20 minutes with over 100 acupressure points being activated in this period. The acupressure sequence was first introduced to Japan about 1500 years ago from China, where records of its existence go back 3000 years B.C.

“Sickness absence bill put at £12 billion a year”
The cost of sickness absence to the British economy is around £12 billion per year, the safety minister has said. “The workplace in the 21st century is a fast paced, dynamic and highly stimulating environment, it brings a number of benefits and opportunities, however, with these benefits comes new risks”.

Each week: One million workers take time off because of sickness and most return to work within days; but around 17,000 people reach their 6th week of statutory sick pay; and at this point, almost 1 in 5 people stay off sick and eventually leave work.
