Health & Well-being For Employees
Introducing a massage therapy day on a monthly basis can have significant benefits for their company and more importantly, its employees.
Sitting at a desk for extended periods can lead to poor posture and related health issues. A massage therapy day will help alleviate these issues by providing employees with an opportunity to receive regular massages to relieve the tension, pain, and everyday stiffness that occurs in the workplace environment, which often is in the neck, back, and shoulders. To start, this can result in improved posture and reduced discomfort leading to increased productivity.
Below we have highlighted some other benefits which can also help improve improve overall workplace productivity and satisfaction.
