This Workplace Massage Thing, What’s it Really all About?

Imagine this scenario: It’s a Tuesday, you’re under intense pressure to meet deadlines, you didn’t sleep well last night, been dealing with difficult customers, nerves are frayed, it feels like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, there’s no escape.  Then in walks a healthy-looking lady lugging a suitcase that is actually a hidden massage table. She proceeds to unfold it in a quiet private office/meeting room. You immediately jump to the conclusion that the office is now being turned into a massage parlour. Before you can even imagine what your wife will have to say about this your phone rings. Another work issue promptly snaps you back into the real world. A world that now conveniently offers you an escape with a massage therapist.How cool an employer would you be offering your employees workplace massage?!

I’m not going to prattle on about all the wonderful benefits of massage and how it increases productively or bleat on regarding your obligation to manage stress in the workplace, after all time is money and you are an intelligent person.

A table is used because I am not into 10 minute token rubs. I prefer to effectively address muscular issues and deal with it or allow someone a real opportunity to unwind. Sessions can be 20, 30 or 45 minutes duration, depends how amazing employer you are.
