Workplace Stress Management Services

People often assume that to reap the benefits of a massage it is necessary to partake in a session that lasts at least 30 minutes. The truth is, even a five or ten minute therapy session can produce a variety to physical, psychological, and emotional benefits. New England Workplace Therapies has introduced companies to workplace stress management programs. They offer onsite massage services to businesses that are making an effort to improve their corporate wellness plans. The way the workplace stress management program works is that the employees are given the opportunity to take a break from their busy and stressful workday to partake in a 5-30 minute massage therapy session. Because the sessions are short, they do not disrupt the flow of a workday or require people to be away from their desks for an extended period of time. The workers immediately notice a heightened alertness, and decreased depression and anxiety, as well as, reduced prevalence of migraine headaches, and sleep disturbances. In addition, repetitive stress injuries like neck strain, carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain are less likely to occur which saves companies money on workman’s compensation claims. Companies vary in the amount of time they prefer to include in their massage sessions, and they also vary when it comes to the frequency at which they take place. While some employees have the luxury of getting bi-weekly massages, others get them once a month. Regardless of the frequency, workers receive many benefits from a program like this.
