Seated Chair Massage Study

Studies by the Touch Research Institute in Florida show that the benefits of seated massage have quick results.  Immediately after massage sessions, the subjects experienced a change in brain waves in the direction of heightened alertness and better performance on math problems (completed in less time with fewer errors.)  At the end of the five-week study period, subjects reported reduced job stress and elevated moods along with the usual benefits of massage.

In it's 1993 World Labor Report, the International Labor Organization reported that job stress costs the U.S. economy $200 billion annually.  This is due to diminished productivity, compensation claims, absenteeism, health insurance and direct medical expenses.  Seated chair massage may help reduce these costs.
