The Service

HOW DOES MASSAGE THERAPY RELATE TO THE WORKPLACE?

This is a therapy orientated to fine-tuning and maintaining wellness.

The vast majority of companies that seek out this service have a wonderful people-focussed culture and want it to be even better. Quite simply, they are often great places to work because they are pro-active about staff well-being.

Few would argue that the human body often struggles to cope with the demands of our sedentary office work environment, mixed in with busy-life syndrome and the odd weekend warrior activity! Many problems are cumulative and can become overwhelming:

  • Headaches

  • Stiff necks

  • sore and inflexible shoulders

  • aching back

  • arm tension and hand pain

- all common complaints which can often be effectively managed or alleviated by targetted, regular massage.

Examples of past and present clients include:

  • Christchurch City Council

  • Environment Canterbury

  • Ministry of Justice

  • GHD Consultants

  • Mortlock McCormack Law

  • Abley Transport Consultants

  • Air New Zealand

  • Grant Thornton Accountants

HOW IS THE SERVICE PROVIDED?

I use a fully portable massage chair, designed for maximum comfort, support and relaxation during treatment. The chair is the perfect way to introduce people to the benefits of therapeutic massage, whilst fitting in with the demands of the office environment. I prefer to utilise a semi-private room (often a meeting room or first aid room) and I require relatively little space to work in.

Please note that with the massage chair, treatment is provided through clothing (no oil is used), or sometimes working directly on the skin on exposed areas of neck, shoulder, arms and hands.

I use safe and effective manipulation techniques to work on releasing muscular tension, often focussing on trigger points. Trigger points are specific areas of shortened painful muscles fibres which can develop from over-use and/or emotional stress. Working on these areas can immediately release muscle tension, stimulate new blood flow, toxin release and kick-start the bodies’ natural healing processes over the ensuing days.
