Studies have shown that in this short period of time blood pressure lowers and heart rates slow leaving you ready to approach the day in a much calmer and focused way.

THE PERFECT SOLUTION TO ALLEVIATE STRESS

With just 10 -15 minutes of seated massage in the workplace research has shown

  • significant reductions in blood pressure1
  • alleviation of depression and anxiety levels resulting in less job stress, enhanced alertness and increased speed and accuracy on math computations2
