Corporate Massage At Work

As the name suggests, a desk massage is a 5-20 minute massage treatment provided to staff while they are seated in a chair at their desk. A desk massage focuses on the individuals neck, shoulders and head targeting areas strained by long hours sitting at a desk or computer.

A desk massage is a popular choice for teams working in offices and corporate settings as their done through clothing, without oil and there’s no need to find space for bulky equipment or privacy.

A workplace massage refers to any type of professional massage treatment given to a client in an office. This includes roving desk massage, chair massage and table massage.

A corporate chair massage also known as a seated massage is massage treatment provided to clients using a special ergonomic massage chair.

The massage therapist will bring the chair with them to the session and offer staff members a massage that focuses on the back, neck, shoulders, arms, head and hands. A chair massage can range in duration, but is frequently booked for 10 – 30 minutes per staff member. When booking a chair massage you’ll need to prepare a room or an area roughly 1 x 1.5 metres for the massage to take place.

Yes we do! Our massage therapists are well-equipped with all the necessary tools for your massage, whether it be a chair or table massage. The only thing that’s left up to you is the atmosphere-you get to choose the lighting, the space and the music!

Roving massage:
A roving massage or roving desk massage is a massage provided to a staff member while they sit at their desk. This type of massage treatment is often booked for the whole team as a massage therapist will rove to each individuals desk for a 5-20 minute massage focusing on the neck, shoulders and head.

Their are many physical and mental benefits of regular corporate massages:

• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Relief from headaches
• Relieves from pain or discomfort of sitting at a desk

After a corporate massage, your team will feel relaxed and de-stressed, ready to take on the next work task with enthusiasm!

There are so many benefits of a professional massage, physically, mentally and for our overall wellbeing! In terms of the physical, professional massage reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, stimulate the lymphatic system, reduce stress hormones, increase joint mobility and flexibility and improve recovery of soft tissue injuries. Professional massages are also found to decrease levels of stress and anxiety and promote feelings of relaxation within the body and mind.

A corporate massage therapist is no different from a regular professional massage therapist except instead of coming to your home for your appointment they come to your workplace! Many corporate massage therapists also have completed training specific to chair and roving desk massage, allowing for you to fully enjoy your session in the spaces an office provides.

During a massage, there is little you should be doing- apart from relaxing and unwinding of course! In terms of what you should not being doing, it is always advised to not consume alcohol directly before or after your session. The effects of alcohol will be much stronger during a massage as blood flow increases, and the resulting dehydration hurts your chances of that post-massage glow!

The only thing you need to do during your massage is relax and enjoy! Breathe in deep and enjoy the destressing and pain relieving experience, our massage therapists know exactly what to do. If you are in need of any physical adjustments or changes to environment, just let your therapist know and you can go back to closing your eyes and feeling your muscles unwind.

Depending on which massage you choose, different parts of your body will be massaged.

In a roving desk massage, a massage therapist will provide a massage while you are at your desk, which focusses mainly on the neck, shoulders and head.

This is similar to a chair massage, which is upper body focussed with arms, upper and lower back also included.

A table massage is a great option for a full body massage which includes head, neck, upper body, back, glutes and legs. When booing a table massage you can opt for a swedish massage, deep tissue or remedial massage and you can always let your massage therapist know if there is any area you would like them to target.

Massage aftercare advice:

• After your massage, the first and most important task is to drink lots of water! During a massage, built-up toxins within the body are released and must be expelled from your body. While your kidney’s do a great job on their own, drinking water after a massage is a great way to ensure all the toxins are properly eliminated from your body.
• Stay relaxed and take it easy: the best advice we can give you is to stay calm and chill out. A massage treats tensions and stress within the body, so to hold onto those feelings of calm you have to amp up the relaxation.
• Book another massage! You can hold onto that post-massage glow for as long as possible, but the best way keep that relaxed feeling is by booking another session.

If you experience any adverse health conditions, such as blood clots (thrombosis), osteoporosis, or have recently undergone surgery we always recommend consulting a health professional before getting a massage.

If you are pregnant, it is again recommended that you speak to a health-care professional before booking an appointment (and some of our massage therapists specialise in pregnancy massage!)

If you have any concerns about your overall wellbeing, including feeling unwell prior to your appointment please advise your therapist immediately or prior to your treatment. You can also contact our customer support team at hello@getblys.com.au for assistance.

Before the treatment begins:

• Your massage therapist will walk you through your treatment plan.
• You will be able to highlight any areas of concern
• Clothing requirements will be outlined during this consult, with chair and roving desk massages being best provided with comfortable clothing, however a dress shirt would be fine.
• If you are booking a table massage you have the option to wear comfortable clothing or partially disrobe depending on your level of comfort.

Proper ettiquette when getting a massage also falls under the realm of health and wellbeing.

For an office or workplace, a massage does not require too much provision. A space that is at least 1.5 x 1 metre for a chair massage is all that is needed. Or, if you would prefer a table massage, and have a private room available, a space of 2.5 x 1.5 metre is required. The beauty of mobile massage in your office is that you can set up your space however you would like for your session, with music, lighting and overall ambiance all up to you!

The space required will depend on the massage treatment booked:

• A chair massage will require a space of at least 1.5 x 1 metre.
• A table massage will require a space of 2.5 x 1.5 metres.

We require all corporate bookings to be paid in advance. We can accept credit cards (an invoice will be sent) or we can raise an invoice and email it to you.
