Chair Massage
A seated chair massage created for emergency responders at 9/11 and specifically designed to address the areas of stress and tension — neck, back and shoulders.
Chair massage is a type of massage that is performed while the client is seated in a special chair. This type of massage is becoming increasingly popular, as it can be done in a variety of settings, including at the office, at events, or even in public places.
Chair massage is a shorter and more focused version of traditional massage, as the therapist can target specific areas of the body that are causing pain or tension. This type of massage can be beneficial for a variety of different conditions, including headaches, neck pain, and back pain. It can also help to improve circulation and reduce stress.
Most people simply don't have the time to go to a spa or massage therapy as a regular health practice. Massages should be a preventative measure and shouldn't just be used when your body breaks down or when dealing with an acute injury. This chair massage has instant results that are surprisingly therapeutic and effective despite the short length of treatment time.
