Corporate massage has been demonstrated to be an effective motivational tool in offices (1).
However, when wellness directors make the wise decision to bring chair massage therapy into
their offices, what should they look for in a therapist?
First and foremost, most states now have certificates or licenses that therapists must (or should)
obtain to demonstrate their completion of training and standards of professionalism. Be sure that
any therapist you hire for corporate massage has one of these credentials. In states where these
credentials do not yet exist, there are usually municipal credentials that can serve the same
purpose. An acceptable substitute in areas without state or local licenses/certificates can be the
therapist's school transcripts (showing completion of 500 training hours or more) and a detailed
resume.
After assuring that your therapist has appropriate credentials, get an idea of his or her experience
in providing office chair massage. Have they worked in an office before? What is the length of their
average session? What areas do they focus on in their work? Do they have their own chair? Are
they comfortable providing all the supplies necessary to do onsite corporate massage?
An effective therapist should be able to meet any reasonable demands you have for your wellness
program. They should be able to provide massages in lengths of 10 minutes to 30 minutes. They
should be able to provide all supplies you need them to and have an effective routine that involves
work on the back, shoulders and arms. Many therapists will also be able to provide extra services
that can enhance an office chair massage, such as aromatherapy, music, and foot or hand
massages.
Finding a therapist who matches all these qualifications can be difficult, especially if you have
offices located in different parts of the country. Because of this, hiring a nationwide massage
therapy provider can be helpful, as it can then handle all the scheduling and logistical issues that
arise when managing staff in separate locations.
If managing your therapist(s) alone, it is important to find someone you are comfortable speaking
with when hiring, and who can answer all the questions mentioned above, as well as provide you
with copies of their credentials. It is also important that you find someone who is punctual and who
can manage his or her time effectively as - especially in the world of business - employees need to
know when they can receive their massages, for how long, and then not be kept waiting.
Often times, in the more laid back world of massage therapy, this can be a problem, but there are
literally tens of thousands of professional therapists who would love to work at a well managed
corporate massage job. Knowing what to look for can help ensure that your chair massage
therapist does a good job.
