Valley Massage Company Fulfills Need to Create Productive Employees
(PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 1, 2004) – From law offices to car dealerships, valley employers are beginning to realize that downtime can actually be productive. Companies, large and small, have begun to establish workplace wellness programs for their employees. Programs include gym memberships, breaks for yoga and workplace massage.
Massage works! A study performed by the International Journal of Neuroscience concluded that massage therapy reduces anxiety and enhances electroencephalogram patterns of alertness and math computations. The New Year is the perfect time to begin a workplace wellness program with chair massage and more.
The Back Rub Company is a workplace massage group that is often called on to provide massage services as well as other modalities for various businesses around the valley.
“Workplace massage has been around for well over 20 years,” said The Back Rub Company owner, Tiffany Richards. “I think it’s just recently that employers are recognizing that there are actually viable benefits to it. With the rising costs of health insurance plans, companies are looking for other alternatives.”
The benefits of regular massage are far reaching:
• relieves stress
• improves alertness and motivation
• eases tense and tired muscles
• reduces anxiety levels
• decreases tension and migraine headaches
• enhances employee loyalty and morale
• diminishes worker’s compensation and insurance claims
“We’ve also expanded our company to provide yoga, breathing and relaxation techniques, Tai Chi and Chi Gung and movement courses”, said Richards. “The companies that we work with wanted more comprehensive wellness programs for their employees, so that’s what we did. Employers and their employees can choose from an array of programs that are customized to fit their needs. We even offer full-body table massage at the office!”
The Back Rub Company is the leader in providing such comprehensive workplace wellness programs. The programs are great for long workdays, deadlines, employee and customer appreciations, holidays and other special occasions.
“I wanted to do something special for my co-worker’s birthday so I schedule massages with The Back Rub Company for my entire staff, plus extra time for the ‘birthday girl’”, said Stacy Maxwell, Realty Manager of a local commercial real estate company. “Everyone loved it, even staff members who had never had a massage before! The therapists were great. What a positive experience to have in the workplace.”
Whether employers are looking for a one-time event or to add a wellness program to the workplace, The Back Rub Company provides an all-inclusive plan to give their employees a perk and increase the company’s return on investment.
