You’ve asked and we’ve answered the top 6 FAQs about chair massage.
How long is a chair massage?
Chair massage sessions can vary in length, but they are typically offered in increments ranging anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. The duration can be adjusted based on the setting and the number of participants expected.
- Events (Conferences, Expos, Parties): For events where participants might be on a first-come, first-served basis, shorter sessions of 5-10 minutes are often recommended. This allows more people to experience the massage while minimizing wait times and lines queuing.
- In-Office Wellness Days: For a more relaxed environment like an in-office wellness day, 10-15 minute sessions are ideal. This gives participants enough time to settle into the massage chair, enjoy the benefits of the massage, and feel refreshed and ready to continue their day.
Are just the back, neck, and shoulder areas worked?
No, our chair massages are not limited to just the back, neck, and shoulders. Our team of experienced licensed massage therapists is trained to address tension throughout the entire body. We begin each session with a brief verbal intake to understand any specific areas of concern or places to avoid. Based on this information, our therapists use appropriate techniques to relieve tension and promote relaxation from head to toe, ensuring a comprehensive and personalized massage experience.
I’m pregnant, can I still get a chair massage?
Yes, pregnant women can receive chair massages throughout their entire pregnancy. Unlike traditional table massages, which typically require participants to be in their second trimester, chair massages can be comfortably and safely performed at any stage of pregnancy. Our licensed massage therapists are experienced in providing gentle and appropriate techniques to ensure the comfort and safety of pregnant clients, addressing common areas of tension and promoting relaxation. While sitting face-forward in the massage chair might become uncomfortable in the later weeks, an alternative positioning option is available. Pregnant participants can sit sideways on the chair, allowing for greater comfort while still enjoying the benefits of the massage. Our experienced therapists are skilled in adjusting techniques and positioning to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for all participants, including those who are pregnant.
When can’t I get a chair massage?
While chair massage is generally safe and beneficial for many people, there are certain health conditions where it may not be advisable including bone fractures and osteoporosis. Certain areas of the body may need to be avoided during a chair massage including open cuts or wounds, sunburn, large bruises, and exposed veins.
Before receiving a chair massage, it’s important to inform the therapist of any medical conditions or areas of concern. Our licensed massage therapists will take precautions to ensure the massage is safe and comfortable for you.
