Research has shown that workplace strain can be detrimental to employee behaviour, leading to low motivation and morale, decreased work performance, job satisfaction and productivity, and increased absenteeism and work-place accidents.
Work-site massage therapy offered to employees may offer additional benefits in terms of increased positive employee outcomes related to both physical and psychological health, as well as increased employee productivity and job satisfaction. Massage therapy treatment may also be effective in reducing negative psychological, physiological, and behavioural strain symptoms, and could therefore be employed as a strain reduction strategy directly within organizations.
American Institute of Stress states that an estimated 1 million workers are absent every day due to stress. Repetitive musculoskeletal injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome have become the nation’s leading workplace health cost and account for almost a third of all workers’ compensation awards. Massage has been shown to help in reducing these kinds of injuries, leading to reduced absenteeism, fewer workers’ compensation claims, and less cost to employers.
