Since all the changes in the workplace (for many) over the last 2 + years, I am now offering bodywork mainly to individuals who work from home. I am very happy to consider small offices/workplaces, if you are keen, but want to keep any health & hygiene protocols as simple as possible.
The massage focuses on your back, neck, head, shoulders, arms & hands – all the areas that tend to get ‘fixed’ if working at a desk for long periods of time. Massage at Work could be a solution – even with a busy schedule, most of us could fit in 15 minutes or so, if we didn’t have to travel. If this is you, go straight to Rates, and Benefits…
How it Works
Treatments are carried out fully clothed (without any oils) & can be between 15 & 40 minutes long. We don’t need much space, just enough room for my fabulous massage chair! I can work at your desk, if needs be, but I find it’s more beneficial if you can move away from your work station, if that’s possible.
Consultation forms can be emailed in advance, or completed as I set up. Any medical conditions are discussed prior to receiving your treatment, so adjustments can be made, if necessary. I combine Acupressure & traditional massage techniques, depending on individual needs.
In addition to the bodywork itself, I aim to offer after care suggestions, whether that be stretches, different ways of working, ideas to explore to destress… it’s all about each individual client.
A Brief History of Seated Acupressure (On Site Massage)
It was developed as a ‘stress-busting’ treatment in Silicon Valley, USA in 1984 by David Palmer (trained in Shiatsu) who realised that acupressure lent itself perfectly to the workplace — in his case Apple. It was introduced to the UK in 1989.
Working to increase our overall energy flow by releasing ‘blocks’ from energy lines (meridians) throughout the body, which relate to specific internal organs, from an Eastern perspective. It also works on the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems.
