On-site acupressure massage
This is a form of bodywork specifically designed to be given in the workplace.
It deals with the stressful effects of prolonged sedentary, repetitive, high pressure work coupled with the many demands of our domestic lives today.
In only twenty minutes tight tense muscles and ligaments will be eased, mind and body relaxed and the whole system generally toned.
An ideal way to take care of our body, mind and spirit in the middle of busy working schedules, it takes very little time and causes very little disruption to the working environment and schedule. The client is left refreshed, revitalised and ready for anything.
Whilst seated, fully-clothed on the ultra-comfortable, ergonomically designed chair the client receives stimulation of a carefully selected range of acupressure points combined with gentle stretches of the back, neck and arms from a fully qualified practitioner.
How does it work?
It works through similar principles to acupuncture. Energy flows in the body along meridians. Our meridian system can become blocked or depleted by many influences, internal, external and miscellaneous.
This creates imbalance and eventually leads to disease. From the principles of Chinese medicine, stimulating specific points along the meridians with positive pressure balances the energy flow and tones the body. The whole body/mind spirit system is encouraged to heal itself before disease arises.
The gentle massage and stretching techniques also stimulate blood and lymph flow, dispersing blocked energy and easing the tense tight muscles which give discomfort and pain.
History
The ancient origins of OSM go back 5000 years to the Japanese bodywork system called Anma, literally meaning press and rub. More recently in the 1980s entrepreneur David Palmer began giving short sessions to
employees at Apple computers. It was so successful that he went on to have the chair specifically designed.
Now there are over 7000 practitioners in the USA and the UK is fast catching up. OSM is benefiting many companies here including Telewest, British Geological Survey and the Scottish Funding Council for further
and higher education.

Indian Head Masssage at work
Sanas has developed a shorter 25 minute session of the relaxing Indian Head Massage treatment specifically for the workplace. This can be used as an alternative to the on-site acupressure sequence and is designed
to be relaxing and head-clearing but at the same time leaving the client more alert and focused to return to work in a good mind!
Massage with essential oils in the workplace
A relaxing neck and shoulder massage using essential oils can be carried out on the on-site chair or even on an office chair, It takes the same appointment time as the acupressure on Indian Head Massage.
It works on the neck and shoulders, unclothed, using a mixture of essential oils in a carrier oil. You will need to come prepared to remove your top and with your own towel.
Pilates Matwork for the Workplace
Pilates matwork can be done in classes or 121 sessions.
One to one or one to two sessions of pilates can allow the individual to learn his or her particular posture and ways of moving that cause aches pains and injuries resulting from imbalance of muscle groups.
The slow controlled exercises allow the attention to detail and correctness that bring results!
One to one sessions are very useful to then get the most out of a larger class. A 30 minute session can be done in the workplace to give a quick posture assessment and learn the most useful exercises to
combat workplace aches and pains.
