On Site Massage Therapy for London Businesses
Its the middle of your week, and it has been a full and busy one so far; meetings with difficult clients, about a million emails, and a ‘to do’ list that goes on and on. Your energy is low and your jaw feels a little tight in that way it does after a stressful week. Perhaps you also feel this tension sitting on your shoulders and creeping into your neck. That spot between your shoulder blades is tight and starting to ache. Luckily today is the day for BTS Onsite Massage in your London office and it is time for your appointment. You are greeted by a smiling face and showed into a strange looking yet surprisingly supportive and comfortable chair and your body relaxes into it. Then you feel the sensitive yet strong touch of the therapist’s hands on your shoulders, and as she or he warms and massages your muscles the tension starts to melt away. She finds that spot between your shoulder blades, and that spot in your right shoulder too, both areas she releases with strong pressure, giving you a nice endorphin rush. She works into the tight spots into your neck and then down your arms. Twenty minutes later you slowly stand up, you feel relaxed yet completely revived as your whole body tingles with energy, your head feels clear and calm, your thinking sharp. You know now that you will step back into your day with a renewed sense of energy and be able to deal easily with whatever the day may hold. Stress and work go hand in hand. However there is a fine line between stress that creates a buzz and gets a job done, and stress that takes its toll on the body and impairs performance. An imbalance of stress hormones can lead to a number of related health problems, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, digestive impairment, and lowered immune response. Massage can help maintain healthy levels of stress at work. In simple terms massage balances out the stress response and gives your body a chance to metabolise the stress hormones. Stress not only causes ill health on an individual level, but it also causes ill health for the company, in the form of money lost by lowered productivity and illness. Regular massage for you and your colleagues will result in less stress, more creativity, greater production, greater staff retention, sharper more focused thinking, reduced absenteeism, a calmer working environment and significant savings for your company. An Onsite Massage session with BTS will leave you feeling not only relaxed, but refreshed and focused for the rest of the day. You will find the sessions to be a welcome break from your other appointments and help you to maintain peak performance at work. You will feel the positive effects of a massage for the following 3-7 days depending on your workload! Onsite massage is oil-free clothed seated massage, the techniques are specific to back, shoulders, neck, head and arms, and the massage is tailored completely to your needs. Finding the time to get a regular massage can be hard. So BTS brings massage to you. A weekly, fortnightly or monthly seated massage session can be arranged, in your workplace for you and your team, to fit around your busy schedule. Benefits of Massage
