About the massage session: The recipient is seated (fully clothed)
in a forward leaning, state-of-the-art massage chair. In this position, all of
the muscle groups needed to support the body throughout the day are able to temporarily relax while receiving the massage
treatment. The areas of the body that are most likely to suffer the effects of
workplace stress are given expert attention, including the neck, head,
shoulders, back, lower back, arms, wrists and hands. Each massage is about
twenty-five minutes long, although this can vary depending on logistics and
schedules. The massage session directly addresses the effects of extended
computer and telephone use, repetitive motion, poor posture and work demands –
all of which can put a tremendous amount of strain and fatigue on both body and
mind. At the end of the session, the massage recipient typically experiences a
feeling of rejuvenation, recharging, freedom of movement and a general sense of
improved well-being. In addition to these immediate benefits, the long-term
effects of repetitive and cumulative strain and fatigue can be significantly
diminished.

Re-educating both body and mind: Recipients are given a general
overview of how posture and alignment in the workplace can be modified to
reduce the harmful effects of bad habits. General questions about the physical
anatomy and structural relationship of muscles, bones, nerves, circulation etc.
are answered, leaving the client with a better understanding of how stress
affects the body and mind. Appropriate educational handouts can be provided,
such as postural tips and simple stretches that can be used to reduce the build
up of stress effects. Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of these sessions
though, is the mental/emotional effect. Recipients are left with a profound
feeling of improved wellness and comfort – immediately creating a new lens
through which they experience their day. Feeling good physically becomes the
foundation for being in top form mentally. Upon returning to the work routine
after a short stress-break massage session, recipients report a marked increase
in patience and compassion with situations, co-workers, customers, and even with
themselves. This contributes to an upward spiral of cooperation and
positive-oriented thinking, behavior and ways of relating, instead of the
potential downward spiral of tension, stress and fatigue.
