On-Site Chair Massage and Corporate
Chair Massage Programs
Waterdown Massge Therapy offers on-site chair massage. Because massage chairs are portable, there are a limitless number of venues where massage can be offered. Bridal showers, family reunions, fundraisers and community events are just a few examples of great venues for chair massage, but the most common of these has become the workplace. Many companies and corporations are offering massage services to their employees on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis. Chair massage is also a popular addition to special events such as tradeshows, conferences, conventions, wellness days, health fairs, golf tournaments and company picnics, and is a great idea for client or employee appreciation days.
Stress in the Workplace
Up to 75 percent of all time lost in the workplace is stress-related, according to FranklinCovey, a global leader in effectiveness training and productivity tools for organizations.
The International Labour Organization states that stress has become one of the most serious health issues in Canadian workplaces, where a survey by the Canada Health Monitor found that over 25% of employees reported stress and mental or emotional health problems arising from work.
Workplace stress costs Canadian companies $12 billion per year reported the online publication The Training Report in 2000.
Massage therapy is accepted by Health Canada as an effective therapy for reducing stress.
Health Canada reports that for each dollar invested in wellness initiatives such as massage therapy, an organization can see a return on investment of $3.40 in the form of reduced absenteeism and turnover, productivity gains, and decreased medical claims.
