Twenty Minutes That Your Shoulders Will Thank You For

A chair massage is a quick, targeted treatment done in a specially designed massage chair. You stay fully clothed, with no oils and no need to get undressed. In just 20 minutes, your therapist works through the areas that carry the most day-to-day tension: upper back, neck, shoulders, and arms.
It is easy to fit into a lunch break, a work event, or a busy day. Also, it works well when you need relief without booking a full table massage. You sit forward-facing in the ergonomic chair, which supports your chest and face. As a result, your back and neck are easy to access while you stay comfortable.
The pressure can be adjusted to suit you. It can be firm enough to work into tight spots, or lighter if you prefer. Most people are surprised how much can be achieved in 20 minutes. You stand up with looser shoulders, a clearer head, and a calm but alert feeling.
