Rejuvenate For Summer: Part IV: Workplace Massage

With the long winter and hours inside working, our bodies have really felt the strain. A good massage helps alleviate much of the built up hours behind a desk, on your feet or behind the wheel.

 Many businesses have started incorporating regular workplace massages and there are a lot of positives. Whether it's employee appreciation, to alleviate stress during crunch time or an added health benefit, it can save money and boost morale.

Here's the lowdown on the benefits of a workplace massage, helping you feel much more limber for the summer months....

Job stress and related problems cost companies an estimated $200 billion or more annually, based on information from the American Institute of Stress and the American Psychological Association.

Workplace massages save money by:

 Increasing energy and morale

Attracting and keeping key talent

Reducing sick days and lateness

Showing your employees that you care

Even a brief massage can significantly improve employee problem solving abilities

The benefits for employees are endless:

Preventing pain caused by excessive repetitive movement

Calming the nervous system

Stimulating blood flow

Increasing immunity to colds and flu

Relieving headaches, migraines and back pain to improve posture

Massage also improves creative thinking and relieves fatigue.  It’s better than a cup of coffee!
