Chair Massage Laguna Niguel California

Chair Massage has been created especially for the modern, busy, stressed-out executive, office worker or anyone who has little time but badly needs a massage. Many people who suffer from stress, anxiety and neck and shoulder pain know that massage would help, but most modern people are so busy that it can be difficult to fit a long massage treatment into the weekly schedule.

Typically a massage designed for the entire body will leave a person feeling extremely relaxed and even light headed at times. A short massage in a massage chair, however, will usually leave recipients full of energy and invigorated after a treatment. There are many massage clinics that offer services to walk in customers so that people can simply come in, sit down and receive a massage to re-energize themselves and be ready to handle the remainder of their day.

There have been many studies showing that massage will not only reduce anxiety and relieve stress, but will also ease pain and tension, as well as increase overall well-being. In fact, even a short massage of the neck and shoulders can provide many benefits for health and well-being: it can help release upper back muscles that are tense and knotted, it can help focus the mind as well as energize and invigorate, and it can even help improve flexibility especially when the treatments are received on a regular basis. Ideally, treatments would occur weekly, but even the occasional massage can be very helpful.

Chair massage is convenient for the client, who does not have to undress or lie down on a couch. The client sits fully clothed in a specifically designed, ergonomic massage chair. The chair is created to make the client as comfortable as possible, and to put the masseur in the best position to give a treatment. The masseur or masseuse does not use any oil or cream. Instead, s/he works through the client's clothing and uses techniques that have been created especially for this massage style.

The masseur or masseuse will work on a limited area of the body, but this area is where most people suffer the most effects from tension: the arms and shoulders, the upper back, neck and head. A typical massage will include a lot of work with pressure points which is based on acupressure and shiatsu massage and often includes gently stretching in order to increase the mobility of the joint and improve circulation to the area. Many of the pressure points located in the neck are also extremely effective in helping to alleviate headaches.

Sometimes people refer to chair massages as office messages because they have gained so much popularity in offices and a variety of other workplaces. Today, many companies have come to realize that when they keep their workforce healthy it improves the entire workplace atmosphere as well as bringing about greater productivity. Many corporations today offer their employees regular massage sessions. Typically a massage therapist will come to the workplace bringing with them a massage chair so that each employee can get a massage in turn, either once a week or once a month. This type of massage is short, so workers are able to get their massage during a regular coffee break and then go back to their regular assignments.

Chair massage is today offered in massage clinics, workplaces, shopping malls and even at airports. The Heathrow airport in London has for years had a walk-in massage center where passengers can get short chair treatments while waiting for their flights. These convenient massages offer effective pain relief, but they also leave the client feeling refreshed and energized.
