Why should I include Neuromuscular Massage Therapy in my Corporate Wellness program?
Well, there’s a number of reasons, but the best one we can give you is that it works. We’ll get to the numbers shortly, but at the end of the day, the most important thing about a corporate wellness program is that the employees use it. It doesn’t matter what kind of program you offer, if the employees don’t see an immediate benefit, it quickly goes unused.
Have you ever found yourself rubbing your neck or back towards the end of the day? Very simply said, you’re giving yourself a massage. But you need more than just a massage.
What you are probably suffering from is a chronic muscle strain, also called a repetitive use injury, due to sitting at a desk all day. There are very specific changes and adaptations the body makes in response to this chronic overuse, and they don’t magically fix themselves.
We specialize in treating these chronic muscle strains, recognizing the patterns of adaptations and helping to reverse them. We can also provide your employees with some very specific stretches and exercises, teaching them how to prevent repetitive patterns from forming and how to deal with them when they arise.
For on-site massage sessions, we bring full massage tables. This allows us to treat the lower back and hips equally to the neck and shoulders.
Ok, we promised you numbers, so here they are.
-
