Why Massage?

Therapeutic massage can provide direct and effective relief from the effects of stress.

Studies at the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine show “..Job stress is one of the leading problems resulting in lost productivity, decreased corporate profits, and an increase in workers’ compensation claims.”

TRI has documented the positive effects of massage therapy on job performance and stress reduction at the university. They found that 15-minute seated massages resulted in a decrease in stress in the workplace and a significant increase in productivity.


What are the benefits of seated massage?

• More relaxed and productive staff (due to the immediate change of pace experienced by the employee).
• Decreased risk of accident.
• Increased alertness.
• Improved morale at the workplace.
• Demonstrates the employer's commitment to the health and well being of the employee.
• Enhances a first class corporate image following the utilization of the massage service.


UCCM - More Than A Back-Rub!

Into each massage we implement Swedish massage techniques, remedial exercises, stretching, joint mobilizations and relaxation techniques.

Our seated massage takes place at the most convenient location and can be any length desired. Most range about 15 minutes so they can take the place of the employee’s break time with minimal lost work time. Seated massage uses no oil and its recipients are fully clothed.

You may consider using our service for employee/client appreciation, charity drives, seminars, or any other corporate function. Contact us to discuss your ideas.
