Intensive introduces On-site Chair Massage to busy working people whose commitments to work and lifestyle mean they are just unable to put aside additional time to get to a clinic for massage treatment. Intensive Values People While they Work - we treat you at your workplace! The advent of computers and an ever-increasing need for businesses to maximise their human resources combined with a more sedentary lifestyle for many, has meant an increase in stress, heart disease, and diabetes. In a study carried out in Australia, Medibank Private (2009), found that prolonged hours spent sitting at a desk had adverse health risks.  In a previous study by the same company (2008) the cost to the Australian economy of workplace stress amounted to A$14.81 billion per year and employers lost 3.2 days in sick leave per worker per year. These sick days cost employers across Australia A$10.11 billion a year. Stress causes us to tense our muscles. Most of us are unaware until we feel pain in our back, neck or shoulders.  

We instinctively apply pressure, rub or touch these sore muscles to alleviate the pain. Research carried out during the 1990s found that on-site chair massage increased relaxation, enhanced alertness, increased speed and accuracy in mathematical tests, lowered levels of anxiety, and also lowered the job stress score (Field et al, 1996).  Further studies found that on-site massage was responsible for a 'significant reduction' in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (Cady & Jones, 1997), and decreases in anxiety, depression, fatigue and confusion, and an increase of vigour (Field et al, 1997). Another study found a significant decrease in pain intensity and tension levels as well as improved mood and relaxation levels (Katz et al, 1999). Benefits of therapeutic massage delivered on-site may include: Relieving back and neck pain Relieving the pain of headaches and migraine Lifting stress and tension – helping people learn to relax Rehabilitation of injured soft tissue, e.g. Occupational Overuse Syndrome (OOS) or Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)

Helping to prevent soft tissue injury Enhancing flexibility and freedom of movement of joints Stimulating circulation of the blood and lymph Assisting the absorption of nutrients into the body – and eliminating wastes from the body Promoting a sense of body awareness, confidence and general well-being.old school chairs bristol For information about how Intensive can help you and people at your workplace, speak to Bronwin at Intensive on +64 4 3844006 or use the 'contact us' page on this website.patio lounge chairs with canopy Cady, S.H., & Jones, G.E.
