A chair massage is a massage provided to the client while they are seated and fully clothed. Chair massages can vary in length. A massage therapist can help clients a lot with only five minutes in the chair. Some massage practitioners offer chair massage at their clinics, but most of the time you will see chair massage provided at an event or on-site situation. A chair massage and an on-site massage are basically the same thing. While I have seen practitioners use massage tables for an on-site event, the more common equipment used is a massage chair.
Some of the benefits of chair massage are:
*Instant relief of the stress created at your workplace
*Increase circulation
*Helps clear your mind
*Clear mind brings about more efficiency
*Decrease in the pain also created at your workplace including but not limited to; headaches, neck pain, and upper, mid and lower back pain.
Here is an interesting video by David Palmer about the history of chair massage.
I offer on-site chair massage through my massage practice. I think it is a wonderful way for people to get a sample of how I work. Thanks for reading, PJ Harris, LMP http://www.pjharris.com/
