10 Great Reasons to get a Massage Chair at the Office

Reason no. 1: It works!

Massage chairs have gone through many trials and these tests show they can be as effective as an actual massage by a massage therapist. This is the reason why they are sometimes referred to as a medical massage chair. Medical massage chairs such as the Luraco Plus massage chair have been approved for therapeutic use by physical experts.

Reason no. 2: Helps take away the stress

The effects of massage, whether from a massage chair or a massage therapist has been verified by scientific studies. Massage is an instant stress reliever, and regular use of a massage chair has other benefits such as increased circulation. Practically everyone will experience stress at work from time to time, so why not invest in tools to help mitigate it?

Reason no. 3: Cheaper than a massage therapist

Many workplaces offer massage by a massage therapist to their employees. This is optimal, as a massage therapist can better assess how to treat the individual. However, the cost to offer this benefit can be high, difficult to accommodate even for medium-sized businesses. A massage chair is a viable alternative that can be afforded even by small businesses.

Reason no. 4: Safe to operate

Massage chair therapy comes with very few contraindications. Only the elderly and previously injured should observe caution when utilizing a massage chair. Beginners should start their massage therapy slowly and carefully build up. Begin with short, 10 minute sessions so as not to overstimulate muscles.

Neck massage, legs, calves, back, shoulders. It is possible to treat nearly every potential ache and tension in a full-body massage chair.

Reason no. 7: Bring down sick days

Stress and muscle pain, especially back pain, are directly related to an increase in sick days. Sick days are costly to employees and have a large impact on productivity. Massage chairs can bring immediate relief to muscle pain and stress. In this way, a massage chair can be seen as an investment to reduce absenteeism and increase staff engagement.
