You\u2019re now able to stop and get a quick 10 or 15 minute chair massage at a health fair, your local mall, or even the airport. And now you\u2019ll also find therapists performing chair massage in the corporate world. More and more employers are seeing the benefits of regular massage, even a quick chair massage, for their employees and are implementing it as part of their employee benefits program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you who may not be familiar with what a chair massage entails, here\u2019s the basic rundown\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-duotone-000000-ffffff-1\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/texasmassageacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_0071-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-922\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll remain fully clothed and have a seat on an ergonomic chair that positions you in such a way that the massage therapist can easily work on your entire back, neck, shoulders, and arms. Many people like the fact that they don\u2019t have to get undressed for this type of massage, whether they\u2019re just in a hurry or have trouble undressing. It\u2019s also great for those who may have trouble getting comfortable on their back or stomach on a massage table. Sessions on a chair can range from 5 minutes to an hour so you may be able to fit it into your schedule a little easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are just a couple drawbacks though to chair massage. It may not be quite as effective of a traditional table massage due to the hindrance of clothing, and the pressure may not be as deep as you want with the leverage restrictions of a seated position, but the good news is that many of the benefits are the same as a traditional table style massage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Lower blood pressure<\/li><li>Reduced anxiety<\/li><li>Relief of muscles aches<\/li><li>Headache relief<\/li><li>Improved sleep quality<\/li><li>Increased productivity (in the workplace)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Chair massage is not on our regular menu, but if you find that you can&#8217;t lay on a regular massage table, let our front desk know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chair massage was introduced in the 1980s, and while it had a slow start, it has since become a staple in the massage profession.
