Effects of Stress in
the workplace
Massage is one of the most
effective, convenient & relaxing ways to combat work
related stress.
Stress is our body’s natural
response to being under pressure and while a small level
of stress can be a positive thing and helps to keep us
motivated, excessive pressure causes our body to react
with a series of negative symptoms which often affect
our physical and mental health.
 Stress
can have a detrimental effect on both the employee and
on the organisation he / she works for:
The detrimental
effects of stress on employees:
-
High blood pressure
-
Insomnia
-
Allergies
-
IBS (irritable bowel
syndrome)
-
Migraines
-
Fatigue
-
Loss of concentration
-
Ulcers
-
Poor digestion
-
weakened immune system,
therefore more prone to infections such as colds &
flu
The detrimental
effects of stress on an organisation:
- Reduction in
performance and productivity
- Increase in absence
due to stress related illness
- High turn over of
staff
- Less commitment from
staff towards the employer
- Increase in
accidents at work
- Increase level of
long term sick, leading to possible compensation
claims
- Reduction in
customer service levels
- Overall drop in
margins due to all of the above

 By
providing massage treatments for staff from the comfort of the
office, employers will be taking a positive and pro-active step
towards reducing work related stress in their company and maximising
the potential of their workers. This in turn will increase job
satisfaction, commitment to work, loyalty and boost the morale of
employees.
The Treatment
I offer 15 – 20 minute massage
treatments to employees at the work place, focussing on the areas
most affected by stress and tension such as the shoulders,
upper back, neck, head, arms & hands. Swedish massage
techniques and acupressure are used to ease tension, relax tight
muscles, calm the mind and increase the circulation to key muscle
groups, leaving the employee feeling relaxed & revitalized. Each
treatment will be tailor made to suit each individual’s
requirements.
 The
massage is given while sitting comfortably in a low-backed chair,
with the individual fully clothed. This makes the massage highly
convenient and suitable for an office environment as there is no
need for clothing removal or for a massage table or oils to be used.
The massage can be given in a private room or in a quiet corner of a
communal office space.
Unlike other forms of stress management
the positive effects of massage are felt immediately.
Price List: £50 per hour (minimum of
2 hours).
No equipment need be provided – I can
bring my own suitable chair to the office.
