What is Chair Massage?

Chair Massage was developed in the 1980's in the USA and has grown in popularity in recent years as it is a versatile therapy that can be taken into offices, events, parties and the like.  The massage chair allows the client to relax forward taking the wait out of the neck while they are massaged, but still remaining seated and clothed.  No oil is used for this treatment so you can walk away from it looking as you did on the way in but having had the tension worked out of your muscles.

Aftercare Advice 

Massage is an aid to the body's natural mechanisms to release stress.  To gain maximum benefit from your treatment, it is advisable that you follow this aftercare advice for the next 12 hours.
  • Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins; massage aids the removal of toxins from the body.
  • Avoid caffeine, alcohol or smoking; massage aims to aid the body’s natural detoxification process and these substances are counterproductive as they increase the levels of toxins in the body.
  • Avoid eating heavy meals because blood is diverted to the gut to help with digestion. Digestion will divert energy away from the healing process. Eat light meals such as fruit and vegetables.
  • Be aware of your posture.
  • Rest as much as possible in order to assist the healing process.
  • You may feel emotional, this is quite normal. 
  • You may experience a feeling of tiredness or fatigue following a Massage. In rare cases, headaches may follow.  Increased urination is very likely after a massage, make sure you stay well hydrated.  In very rare cases flu-like symptoms (runny nose, coughing) may be experienced, but these will be temporary as the body re-balances itself.  It will be replaced by a feeling of wellbeing!
