Both the feel good effects and the health benefits of a massage have a positive effect on employee morale. Massage has been found to reduce absenteeism in employees as employee sense of well-being and happiness increase. This also positively affects employee health and productivity.

While over-the-counter medicine typically does the trick, people with frequent headaches often look for alternative methods of care. A massage improves blood flow to the affected area which in turn can reduce the severity or even stop a daily headache. So if you suffer from headaches, regular massages are the way to go.

The most essential reason to introduce massage to the workplace is the stress relief it brings. In a high flying stressful workplace where everyone has elevated cortisol levels, massage will relax and de-stress employees by boosting serotonin levels – the chemical that makes us feel GOOD. When our brains produce enough serotonin, we feel good and our stress goes down.

Here's why you need a Massage at Work!

The term shiatsu in Japanese means, “finger pressure” and is – you guessed it – a massage which uses mainly fingers and thumbs, but also feet and palms to distribute pressure to points on the body to increase blood flow and ultimately relieve many symptoms of discomfort, such as muscle pain, headaches, joint pain, stress, etc.

Massages, in general, have been around for a really long time. The Shiatsu massage stems from traditional Chinese medicine dating back nearly 5,000 years ago. Although stemming from Chinese traditions, the Shiatsu massage is actually a Japanese system that evolved from its Chinese roots to its adapted Japanese techniques during the 17th century.

The benefits of receiving a Shiatsu massage have been observed and should not be discredited, however, it’s worth mentioning that the Shiatsu massage hasn’t been proven to be to be an effective medical treatment and research hasn’t proven the existence of “qi” or the Meridians.

What are body meridians? You can think of them as energy highways in our bodies that are believed to be the pathways for our “qi,” or energy. Based on TCM, our qi runs through these meridians, helping our body function properly. Qi is made up of two forces (which you may have heard of before), “yin” and “yang.” When our energy is balanced, we’re happy and healthy. When there’s disharmony in our body or an imbalance in our energy, we could experience physical discomfort, illnesses, or diseases.
