What is chair massage?

Chair massage is also known as seated massage – is a type of massage that takes place on an traditional massage chair, designed to take the weight off the spine and give easy access to the head, neck, back, shoulders and arms. 

Chair massage is commonly done over the clothes and does not require oils or creams. This makes it a great mobile service, frequently utilised at events, corporate settings and exhibitions. Ideal for almost anywhere within the workplace.
