Corporate Massage FAQs

What is Corporate Massage?

Corporate Massage is an acupressure massage performed by trained professionals using a table as opposed to a chair - this allows your employees to fully relax in a lying position rather than seated in a chair. It focuses on high-tension areas including the neck, shoulders, back, arms, and hands. Typical times are 10 to 30 minutes with 5 minutes between employees for the therapist to reset.

How much does it cost?

We charge $105+GST+travel/setup time per hour for a 3 hour minimum of hands on work. If you have 9 employees, for example, 3 people per hour of 15 minutes of massage with a 5 minute changeover period for our therapist to clean equipment ready for the next person.

BEFORE THE SESSION

How do you schedule the appointments with employees?

We will provide a suggested form to be completed before we arrive, so we can make the most of our time with you by not searching for people to fill spaces

We will also need the following information from you:

  • The complete name and address of the company

  • The name and contact information of the contact person

  • Date and time of the event

  • Numbers of employees receiving the treatment

  • Length of the session (15/20/30 minutes per person). 5 minutes between sessions to change over is required.

  • Where should we park

  • Who should we ask for once we arrive

How much space is needed?

Only a small space is required for Corporate Massage. Approximately 1.5 meter square will be sufficient. An unused office would be perfect, for quiet and privacy.

How long should the massage sessions be?

For corporate massage, 15-20-30 minutes is generally preferable.

What can I expect in a corporate massage?

The therapist will focus on relieving muscle tension in your neck, shoulders, and back. If you would like your arms and hands massaged too, please let the massage therapist know, but keep in mind that will leave less time for the other areas.

What is your cancellation / refund policy?

No refunds will be provided for deposits or cancellations received less than 24 hours before a scheduled appointment. Cancellations received between 72 and 48 hours before a scheduled appointment are eligible for a 75% refund, and cancellations received less than 48 hours before a scheduled appointment are eligible for a 50% refund.

DURING THE TREATMENT

Will this disrupt my workplace?

Absolutely not! We work unobtrusively in a vacant room; we just need space for out table!

Can I keep my work clothes on?

Yes. You keep your clothes on, that is why chair massage is perfect for the corporate environment. If you're in a private room, you may choose to take a layer off and have our therapist massage you over a towel to keep your work clothes wrinkle-free.

Do you use oils?

No, we usually do not use any oil for Corporate Massage.

How do you ensure cleanliness?

Before each massage session massage therapists disinfect their hands, clean and disinfect the massage chair and apply a fresh face-rest cover.

What if I want more or less pressure?

Ask our therapist. Our massage therapists are trained to adapt to a wide variety of body types and sensitivities to pressure.

AFTER THE SESSION

Will employees become too relaxed to work?

Actually employees will be more alert. They return to work with a fresh focus, a better attitude, and improved productivity. Research has shown that employees who receive regular massage work faster and with fewer errors.

How often do you recommend Corporate Massage?

A monthly session is ideal to achieve best results and to follow up efficiently with employees. Many companies integrate it to their wellness program to increase their staff wellbeing, motivation and performance at work.
