Chair massage, or: seated massage, on-site massage; is a form of office massage practiced for 3 decades in the West, which has gained momentum in the last 10 years in Romania as well, a therapy that we recommend and practice with great success both in companies in Bucharest and in the country. Especially used as a relaxation technique, chair massage is practiced both in companies and in public places: airports, fairs, parks.
Our physiotherapists maximize the efficiency of the beneficiaries’ time, combining the relaxation massage with the medical one and supplementing it with stretching exercises, mobilizations and joint manipulations. The chair massage program designed by us is based on oriental techniques: Yumeiho, Shiatsu and acupressure, it involves massaging the back, neck, head and upper limbs. It is carried out on a special chair that is very comfortable, by medical staff specialized in recovery, it does not involve undressing or any specific clothing or special training of the beneficiaries, so it has the great advantage of being able to be done anywhere, anytime and to anyone. Melotherapy and aromatherapy will be used for total relaxation. The depth with which the massage is done is based on the individual needs of the beneficiary, varying from a firm pressure to a light touch, for the most sensitive.
Effects of chair massage:
- restoring the functional capacity of the joints of the neck, shoulders, hands, and spine;
- along with joint mobilizations and stretching, it eliminates circulatory stasis at the muscular level and releases the muscle tensions that generate contractions, responsible in most cases for the occurrence of back and head pain;
- releases the accumulated tension at the level of the vertebrae, improves cerebral circulation by restoring the normal blood supply to the brain and having as a consequence the increased ability to concentrate and memorize;
- improves the mental state, a fact due both to the elimination of stress and pain, as well as to the comfort resulting from the massage session.
The chair massage performed regularly at the workplace can prevent the unpleasantness caused by the position of sitting in front of the computer for a long time and leads to a decrease in medical leave in companies.
