Chair massage is exactly as it sounds, it is a massage sitting in a chair. There are great therapeutic benefits to massage in terms of stress relief and relaxation. However in the world we live in many people do not have the time of the money for a full body massage.

A chair massage session will normally be done fully clothed and last for approximately 20 minutes. In the UK there are many employers that allow chair masseurs into their offices to give the staff a massage at their desk. Many chair masseurs implement the techniques of acupressure in order to get the maximum benefit for the short time.

This form of therapy will not cure any illnesses you may have but it will have a significant effect in reducing your stress. A low stress level will reduce your susceptibility to illnesses and so it can be seen as a preventative therapy rather than a cure.
