Benefits

Reduces Stress and Anxiety

Workplace massage is a powerful tool for managing stress. By calming the nervous system and lowering cortisol (the stress hormone), even short sessions can help staff feel more relaxed and mentally balanced. This creates a more harmonious working atmosphere and helps prevent burnout over time.

Boosts Employee Morale

Offering massage in the workplace is a clear way to show your team they are valued and appreciated. It sends the message that their wellbeing matters, which can significantly boost morale, increase loyalty, and contribute to a more positive company culture.

Improves Focus and Productivity

Mental fatigue, screen overload, and constant multitasking can all impact productivity. Massage helps clear the mind, improve mental clarity, and recharge energy levels — so employees return to their desks with better focus, sharper thinking, and greater efficiency.

Eases Muscle Tension and Pain

Many employees experience tight necks, sore shoulders, and aching lower backs from long hours at a desk. Workplace massage targets these common problem areas, providing immediate relief and helping prevent chronic discomfort or posture-related issues.

Enhances Circulation and Energy

Massage encourages better blood flow and stimulates the lymphatic system, which supports the removal of toxins and boosts oxygen delivery to the brain and muscles. This results in a natural energy lift — without the caffeine crash — and helps reduce that mid-afternoon slump.

Reduces Absenteeism and Supports Wellbeing

Regular massage sessions contribute to both physical and mental wellbeing, helping reduce the frequency of work-related aches, stress, and illnesses. Healthier, happier employees are less likely to take time off, which benefits both team dynamics and the bottom line.

How does workplace massage work?

Every workplace is different — and that’s exactly where we start.

When you make an enquiry, we begin with a conversation about your team’s needs, the space available, and what you’re hoping to get out of offering workplace massage. No two offices are the same, so I work with you to create a plan that suits your setup and staff.

We’ll talk about how many employees you’d like to treat, how long you want me on-site (from a couple of hours to a full day or more), and what kind of massage will work best. I typically offer seated chair massage or Indian Head Massage in workplace settings, as these are ideal for busy teams:

No need to undress
No oils involved
Easy for colleagues to step in and out of their working day
Perfect for relieving tension in the neck, shoulders, back and scalp — areas that tend to suffer most at desks

We can also discuss how long each session should be (anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes tends to work well), and I’ll help you figure out the best flow so your team get the most benefit with minimal disruption to their day.

Where possible, I like to arrange a quick visit before your booking to see the space in person. This helps me understand the setup, make sure everything will run smoothly, and gives you the chance to ask any extra questions you might have.

Once everything’s agreed, I take care of the rest. On the day, I arrive with all the equipment I need and create a calm, welcoming space for your staff to enjoy some well-deserved downtime — leaving them refreshed, relaxed, and ready to get back to work.

Michael came into our school for 2 days to support staff wellbeing, he managed to create a calming activity and it was a perfect way to unwind. We had a mixture of head massages, neck back and shoulder massage and chair massages and all staff were thankful for the experience. Michael provided a professional service from the point of booking, providing an onsite review meeting prior to the treatments and check ins throughout. We are looking forward to welcoming him back soon.
