Chair Massages range anywhere from 5-30 minutes depending on the time available and the number of people participating. The ideal time is around 15 minutes since that gives us enough time to apply effective pressure and technique to the chronically sore areas of the back, neck, and shoulders.

Based on the number of employees you have and the time you have set aside for the event we will bring either one or two therapists to handle the job. Once we have agreed upon a date we arrive at your place of business 15-30 minutes prior to start time of the event. Ideally we set up in a private office, break area, or conference room. We provide soft music and diffuse essential oil of lavender in the air to create a more relaxed atmosphere. People then just show up at their scheduled time and we perform chair massage on their tight/stressed areas for the allotted time. We are also able to do our work in public areas without a problem.

No clothes need to be removed to receive chair massage. However, if possible, an open necked shirt collar or V-neck shirt will allow us easier access to the often tight areas of the neck and upper back. Short sleeves will allow us to better work on the muscles of the arm and hand.

You can expect relief from the stresses associated with over use of the back, neck, and shoulder muscles. However, a chair massage is not the same as a table massage and there are obvious limitations as to which muscle groups can be worked on. Your therapist will listen very carefully to the areas that are bothering you and then apply the correct technique and pressure to provide the most relief in the given time. The brief communication that takes place - the person describing the area where the stress is and then the therapist applying the correct technique and pressure are the grounds for a successful chair massage. New Era prides itself on hitting the mark 100% of the time.

Most likely not. Once in a while if a tender spot was worked on a little extra to bring immediate relief, you might feel a little soreness the next day. Continue to stay well hydrated and the discomfort will pass in a very short while.

Chair massage can be a wonderful way to help reduce job related stress. See the below important information to see the many benefits of chair massage.
