Chair Massage in NJ: The Possibilities Are Endless!

Chair Massage. Something that most non-Massage Therapists I speak with have never come closer than ten feet of, usually at the local New Jersey mall, walking by to get somewhere ELSE. The chairs do look a bit strange, at first glance. Chair Massage itself, however, is not strange at all. The seated position is comfortable for clients receiving Therapeutic massage, and is also a great position for the therapist to be able to work on the client's back and shoulders.

Now, Chair Massage is often found in the office. Corporate Wellness programs, as well as Health Fairs, are some instances. There are many companies that have regularly scheduled chair massage sessions for employees. Because the chairs are portable and lightweight, they can be set up in under a minute, anywhere that's convenient for the company. We've worked in offices, hallways, cafeterias, on the lawn...anywhere that there was a little space.



Another place most New Jerseyans will end up seeing a Chair massage in use is at an event, maybe a party, or event a corporate event. Chair Massage just lends itself to these sorts of gatherings, and whether for work, or friends and family, a few therapists with portable chairs can add a much-appreciated aura of calm and relaxation. Chair massage has been proven, in controlled studies, to promote relaxation for most people. (Click here to view studies related to massage therapy's benefits)



So, if you've seen a Chair Massage in progress at the Mall but were sort of weirded out by the whole thing, but really wanted to try, don't worry: Sooner or later, you'll have an opportunity for a chair massage at your next company health fair, or maybe your niece's Bat Mitzvah. It could be at your local USO fund-raiser, or even at your own parents' wedding anniversary party. There's really no telling, honestly, as Chair Massage finds its way into an ever-increasing number of sorts of venues, covering all situations: public, private, professional, family.



Or, you can be proactive and book a Chair Massage for your next event! (click here for details) Remember to discuss how many therapists will be necessary when booking, as a shortage of therapists is never a good thing. Also, another consideration is how long each session should be. Each person receiving a massage can go for anywhere from five to twenty minutes, depending upon the number of guests, and how long the event will be.



Even a ten minute session of Chair Massage, done just once, can have positive effects At most events, recipients of Chair Massage often wish to go a second, or even third time! Of course, there's usually a line, and so this is often not possible. But still, they try! If you happen to attend a gathering or celebration, and there's a Massage Therapist present with one of those oddly-shaped portable chairs...by all means, have a seat and learn firsthand why this is so popular among so many different groups of people.
