Ergonomic Solutions with Chair Massage Wellness in the Workplace
Did you know that just one hour of sitting can decrease the LPL enzyme, crucial for metabolizing fat, by a striking 90%? Ergonomics is the science of designing workstations so they fit the people who use them without causing pain. Preferred Massage Therapy is certified as an ergonomic office evaluator, offering a unique solution by providing both ergonomic education and onsite chair massage that can complement any wellness initiative.
How can ergonomics help your bottom line?
A 2008 study by the Journal of Safety Research showcased impressive results, including:
- 75% decrease in lost workdays
- 25% increase in productivity
- 68% reduction in Worker’s Compensation Board claims
- 48% decrease in turnover rates
- 58% decrease in absenteeism
The synergy between chair massage and ergonomics is highlighted by a study conducted by Workplace Strategies for Mental Health in December 2021, which revealed that more than one-third of Canadians feel burnt out. Chair massage, with its stress-relief benefits and ability to relax the nervous system, complements ergonomic principles seamlessly. The positive impact of these wellness initiatives extends beyond individual employees to their colleagues, families, and the overall business bottom line.
Preferred Massage Therapy’s emphasis on providing convenient onsite chair massage services, supported by direct billing and an online scheduling system, has received consistent five-star reviews on Google, underscoring the quality of its services. By integrating chair massage with ergonomic evaluations, businesses can promote employee well-being and implement comprehensive wellness programs.
As Mrs. K. Antoniuk, Principal of St. Isidore, expressed:
