UK Office Massage: The New Wave in Workplace Stress Relief
In these tough economic times, employers are hard pressed to provide even basic benefits to employees. While a benefit like therapeutic massage at work may seem expensive, it’s actually a cost-effective way to give employees a unique benefit. In the U.K., office massage doesn’t require a lot of space and doesn’t require the employee to undress.
Office Massage has many substantial benefits for UK managers as well as laborers. Workplace massage is thought to be highly effective because it occurs in the very location that can be a major source of stress. Here’s some information on three of the most widespread types of therapeutic massage available.
This type of massage at work uses long, slow strokes plus deep finger pressure on muscles and tendons. Anytime stress builds within the muscles, they tighten; this blocks nutrients and oxygen to the muscle. At times, pollutants can be stored in the muscle and lead to inflammation. Stressed muscles can be relieved through deep tissue massage by releasing toxins and encouraging nutrient/oxygen flow.
This is perhaps the most extensively known type of workplace relaxation massage that focuses on refreshing the body by stimulating the circulation. There are five basic strokes which make up this form of massage. The five are: vibrating, tapping, rolling, kneading, and percussive motions. Swedish corporate massage advances relaxation and enhanced circulation, which then are likely to hasten healing of injured tissues like strains and sprains.
This massage method is rooted in the ancient idea that the body contains lines which energies flow through. Thai deep tissue massage is both a bodily and spiritual experience that joins acupressure, gentle stretching and yoga to release muscle tension, relax rigid joints and purge toxins from the body. Properly performed, workplace massages using Thai procedures reduce stress, boost flexibility and restore correct arrangement to the body.
Massage Therapy Has Real Benefits and Tangible Results
Even though the benefits of office massage therapy might sound rather mystical or “new age,” there’s no question that the ancient art of massage has a long and successful history when it comes to relieving muscle aches, reducing tension and stress, improving mental clarity and increasing productivity for employees all over the U.K.
