How does Acupressure Chair Massage work?

It relieves the pain and tension caused by the tightening of the upper body muscle groups and enhances the function of the circulatory system. Thereby, the massage drives out toxins and increases the flow of oxygen-rich blood to muscle tissue. The massage  is fully clothed. It is carried out in a specially designed chair.

With a few exceptions*, the majority of people can benefit from chair massage. Nowadays, our work/life balance can feel out-of-kilter. We often feel overburdened and over time this can result in poor performance in our lives. Our massage is a fast, effective and safe way of reducing the effects of stress by providing a sense of wellbeing and improving blood circulation around the body encouraging productivity.
