Seated Massage
Seated Massage or Chair Massage is a style of massage that is done in your environment and provided to you (or your employees). The sessions are typically short — 10 or 15 minutes — and focuses on your back, shoulders and neck and arms. Seated massage is done over clothes and doesn’t require any massage oil/lotion. For seated massage, you are seated in a special chair with your face resting in a cradle, looking down towards the floor, with supports for your arms. Your back and neck completely relax while the therapist relieves muscle tension using Swedish massage moves like kneading, compression and tapotement. It’s a great way to have muscle tension worked out before it turns into a full-blown spasm. Seated massage is sometimes a free perk at corporate party or event. And some employers bring therapists in to offer seated massage to their employees. Companies can pay the entire cost, split it with employees, or give employees the time and let them pay for the chair massage themselves.
