Working in an office or at a computer for prolonged periods of time can put strain on the neck, shoulder & back muscles which can in turn lead to tension & stiffness. This tension may cause headaches, as well as back, neck & shoulder pain. If left unattended, it could also impact your ability to function effectively at work & your overall quality of life. Simple techniques such as Office Massage & Yoga may help alleviate the pain & other symptoms by releasing tension & increasing muscle strength & flexibility.

Chair massage is perfect for your office or event location. While the recipient is fully clothed, the therapist generally focuses in on the head, neck, shoulders, back, arms & hands. The therapist uses a portable massage chair that is designed for comfort & support. Many employers are using massage as part of their regular employee benefits program. Massage in the workplace is proven to help prevent injury claims, reduce stress leave & absentees, as well as increase company morale & productivity.

“The luxuries of massage & yoga have been replaced with necessity. Science proves that these practices help to increase blood flow, along with a ton of other benefits, it makes perfect sense to include them in the work day” says Becca Starr, who recently launched a Corporate Wellness division within her Los Angeles Virtual Spa company (www.BeccaStarr.com). “It really seems to fit a demand and purpose in our society...it’s a group that needs it more than our average spa-goer.”

Employers have also used gift certificates for company bonuses & overtime incentives! And of course these services can be used for Employee Appreciation Day & Company Parties.

Here is a letter from America's Success Coach, Jack Canfield. He writes "Tomorrow is Staff Appreciation Day at our office. We're starting the day by bringing in a yoga instructor to teach us yoga in the morning. Then, we're having massage therapists come to give the staff relaxing massages, followed by rejuvenating facials. (yes men, facials are quite a luxury!) We also have time to relax, have lunch, and just hang out and enjoy each other's company.

I make a habit of scheduling days like this twice a year, and it's always a lot of fun. It's a great way to motivate, inspire and thank my staff for what they bring into my life.

I encourage YOU to appreciate the people in your life, too. Whether it be staff, family, friends or neighbors. I hope (this) will inspire you to do just that."

As he signs all his correspondence, “Dedicated to your success” with the tag-line, “Taking you from where you are to where you want to be!” As a man who has lived this, his story is an amazing & uplifting one, like many other remarkable trendsetters, he knows the absolute benefits of taking the time to take care of yourself. The result is more productivity, more focus & more of everything that’s positive.
