Seated massage, also known as chair massage, is an excellent way to promote physical and mental well-being. It offers various benefits including …
- muscle tension relief
- improved posture
- stress reduction
- enhanced circulation.
The frequency of seated massage depends on your individual needs, health goals, and lifestyle. We can help your workplace with regular, seated massage sessions by organising a massage professional to visit your office weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Seated Massage Frequency & General Recommendations
Well-Being and Relaxation
For relaxation and stress relief, a seated massage once a week or every two weeks is sufficient for most people.
Regular sessions will help maintain relaxation and prevent muscle tension from building up.
Chronic Conditions & Pain Management
If you are dealing with chronic pain, poor posture, or specific conditions like repetitive strain injuries (RSI), more frequent sessions (1–2 times per week) may be beneficial until the issue improves.
Preventative Care
For maintaining good posture and preventing injuries, seated massages every 4–6 weeks are recommended.
Corporate or Workplace Settings
Shorter sessions (10–20 minutes) can be scheduled more frequently—up to several times a week—to reduce stress and improve productivity without disrupting work schedules.
Massage Chairs
We use massage chairs, but we also massage teams sitting at their workstations using several therapists if it’s a large group.
If using a massage chair (e.g. for self-care at home) experts recommend 15–20 minutes per session, 2–3 times per day at most. Overuse should be avoided to prevent overstimulation of muscles.
Benefits of Regular Seated Massage
- Physical Benefits: Relief from muscle tension, improved circulation, better posture, and enhanced flexibility.
- Mental Benefits: Reduced stress and anxiety, improved mood through endorphin release, and better focus and mental clarity.
- Sleep Quality: Regular massages can help improve sleep by reducing stress and relaxing tense muscles.
Listen to Your Body
The optimal frequency for seated massage varies for each individual. It’s essential to pay attention to how your body responds to massages and adjust the frequency accordingly. Overdoing it can lead to soreness or discomfort. If you have specific health conditions or injuries, consult a healthcare professional before starting regular massage sessions.
Seated massage is a versatile therapy that can be tailored to your needs. Whether used occasionally for relaxation or regularly for managing chronic conditions or stress, it is a valuable tool for maintaining overall health.
We recommend a weekly 15-20 minute massage at your workplace. The benefits are amazing.
