In some workers, stress levels can be high. To counteract this, some companies offer Massage Chair sessions to their collaborators to improve health and also productivity.

Work strain is an increasingly frequent phenomenon, which affects the worker both physically and psychologically. According to human resources experts, this situation deteriorates not only the health of the employee but also the organizational climate.

In addition, it is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a global epidemic since it is the only occupational risk that could affect one hundred percent of workers.Its negative effects are evidenced in absenteeism, decreased productivity, and consequently, individual performance. Diseases also increase, and with them, work accidents.

Not knowing how to handle health problems is triggered that affect the quality of life. The most common being cervicalgia (pain in the cervical area of the spine) and lumbago (pain in the lumbar area of the spine) followed by depressive states, gastrointestinal disorders (irritable bowel), hair loss, insomnia, variable moods, among other alterations.

These ailments become recurrent and disabling, and the obvious costs of illness, absenteeism, or accidents represent a greater expense for companies.

Likewise, there is a breakdown in interpersonal relationships, increased job changes, decreased creativity, poor performance, and aggressiveness.

To solve the high levels of stress, some public and private companies have initiated changes within the organization by adding massage chair sessions.

Airlines, advertising agencies, among others, see the Massage Chairs as a relaxation tool for their employees without leaving their jobs.

The History Of Massage Chairs At Workplace

This modality is not new.Between 1995 and 1996, the “Touch Research Institute”, of the medical school of the University of Miami, United States, evaluated the effect of regular use of Massage Chairs in a series of workers. After the study, some companies incorporated a postural and massage school to improve their employees' productivity and quality of life.

Benefits Of Massages

The massage, in its different varieties, has been adapted to the needs of each moment. Know the benefits.

Skin

It stimulates the circulation of the capillaries in the cutaneous tissues, activates the dermal cells, and invigorates the secretion of the sebaceous glands. This allows maintaining smooth, elastic, and soft skin.

Musculoskeletal System

Muscle contractures caused by postures held during working hours and by mental tension can be relieved with massage.

Circulatory System

By pressing and manipulating the muscles, you help keep blood vessels flexible, prevent the hardening of the arteries, and improve circulation.

Digestive System

The digestive processes can be improved by direct manipulations of the massage on the abdominal area.

Immune System

Also called defense, it is related to the mental and emotional state of the person, and therefore inevitably, stress is a negative influence factor for him.

Physically, the immune system is related to connective tissue, blood vessels, and blood. By influencing these areas through massage, the body's defense system can be balanced.

Relaxation In The Office

Massage Chair therapy is an ancient technique that ranges from gentle caresses to strong manipulations that relax the body and mind.This alternative medicine practice seeks to relieve pain and impact those areas of the body where tensions accumulate.

Receiving a good massage is rewarding for those who work in pain and much more if you receive it at your job, becoming a pleasant experience.

This express (fast) massage modality has gained greater acceptance at the corporate level, given the results obtained in the company's personnel and productivity.

Those who have received quick massages in the office recognize that stress levels and depressive ideas decrease. They work faster and make fewer mistakes.

In addition, the person receiving the massage does not need to undress completely since the massage is on the head, shoulders, back until reaching the waist.

15 Minutes Is Enough

The technical procedures of express Massage Chairs vary depending on the objective to be achieved. A large number of manipulations can be applied, taking into account the desired effects in each case.

Different effects can be achieved through these, such as relaxing, activating, repairing tissues, draining fluids, deconstructing muscles, and making structures more flexible, among other techniques that allow the collaborator to achieve full relaxation.
