Toronto Chair Massage for Stress Management Programs

Massage For Stress Management & Health Promotion Programs

According to recent research, stress is impacting your bottom line in a big way. Stress accounts for $26 billion in medical and disability payments and $95 billion in lost productivity per year. Ouch!

Your company is not immune: 70% of workers surveyed by a national survey rated their job as "very stressful". Nearly half said they needed help in learning how to manage their stress and than 50% of the respondents cited the pace of work as the most common workplace health problem.

We know that stress can impact employees in a very dramatic way. They become vulnerable to a variety of physical and emotional problems. According to Dr. Herbert Benson of the Harvard Medical School, "between 60 and 90 percent of complaints brought to a doctor's office are due to stress." Just three stress related disorders: chronic pain, headaches, and hypertension account for more than half of lost wages due to absenteeism - over $30 billion a year in the USA.

The Solution:

A survey done by Canada Health Monitor found that Canadians were more than three times as likely to complain of health problems arising from stress in the workplace than from work-related illness or injury. So when looking at investing in health promotion initiatives, make sure you are putting your money where it will have the most impact on your organization.

Chair massage can stop stress dead in its tracks and is the perfect antidote to the toxic effects of workplace stress. Research has shown that the effects of massage on stress are immediate and cumulative. Less stress means
