What is On-Site Acupressure massage?
On Site Massage, or On-Site Acupressure Massage or Chair Massage as it is often referred to, can last 15 or 20 minutes and is performed on a fully clothed massage recipient who sit in an ergonomic chair specifically created to provide them with complete comfort and support. No oils or creams are used and the massage focuses on the back, arms, hands, shoulders, neck and head. The practitioner applies pressure to over 100 specific stress release points around the upper body. It is a quick and convenient form of therapy whose benefits are felt straight away. Based on 1,300 years of Japanese-style acupressure massage, On-Site massage is designed to relax clients by de-stressing and relieving general muscular tension, leading them to feel revitalised.
What is indian head massage?
Indian Head Massage can last 15 or 20 minutes and is performed on a fully clothed and seated massage recipient and is a very suitable form of massage for people that spend long periods of time at their desks and computers. The recipient receives a refreshing and balancing massage of the upper back, upper arms, neck and scalp as these are places where the body holds tension. This massage relaxes the muscles in the upper body and improves blood circulation helping the recipient to remain dynamic and in control during times of stress. Indian Head Massage is great for preventing and treating RSI, back, neck and shoulder pain, mental fatigue and stress related symptoms.
