On-Site Chair Massage
Re-energise at work
workplace, clothed mini massages
On-site chair massage has dramatically risen in popularity over the last 3 decades.
Many workplaces now employ a therapist to visit weekly, fortnightly or monthly, providing staff with a 15 or 20 minute chair massage.
It is a fuss free way of receiving the benefits of massage as it is performed over the clothing, without the use of oils or needing to leave the office.
Complimenting healthy work place initiatives such as work station ergonomics and rest breaks, chair massage is a tool for reducing muscular aches and pains and for helping with stress management.
With 30 years experience, Kath provides quality chair massages with reliability and punctuality, to workplaces Auckland wide.
BENEFITS
What does massage do?
Massage warms up the muscles by getting the blood circulating to tension areas, easing stiffness and freeing up mobility.
re-energise
Massage helps to transition the body's nervous system from the 'fight or flight' state to the 'rest and digest' state. This helps a person transition from feeling a bit scattered to feeling calm.
relax
Specific techniques are applied to communicate with the body's nerve receptors: proprioceptors are engaged for correcting body alignment, and touch receptors release hormones that regulate your mood.
therapy
Massage helps to activate your immune system. Passive movement of tissues helps flush the lymphatic system which is the system responsible for fighting off those nasty bugs.

The duration
Usual durations are 15, 20 or 30 minutes. Prices vary depending on session duration. This can be user pays, part subsidised or fully subsidised by the Company.
The massage
The purpose built chair is provided for you to comfortably sit in, enabling the therapist to massage the back, neck, shoulders and arms to release muscular tension. We do a series of stretch and massage techniques, acupressure and posture re-balancing moves. The emphasis is to combine therapeutic and relaxation moves, so that one emerges refreshed and energised, ready to continue their work day.
The booking process
Chair massages are carried out at your workplace, using a spare boardroom. Various on-line booking systems are used with the Receptionist facilitating the process.
Your feedback is welcomed and encouraged
To get the most benefit from your massage session, become an active participant by communicating what is comfortable at all times and let your therapist know of any injuries or health conditions that could affect the session.
