Employee satisfaction through workplace wellness
On-site massage offers numerous benefits for employees and companies. Studies have shown that on-site massages significantly reduce stress and anxiety, boost productivity, and help alleviate muscle tension.
Companies that offer such wellness programs report a 50% increase in employee retention, higher satisfaction levels, and fewer sick days.
From a company benefit to a productivity booster
Regular massages at the workplace not only make the office more appealing but also actively promote relaxation and stress relief. Employees can look forward to personal interactions with colleagues while reaping the health benefits of the massages. This creates a positive work atmosphere and strengthens team spirit.
By offering massages, the company demonstrates its commitment to employee well-being and provides an additional incentive to come into the office—especially after extended periods of working from home. This transforms the office not only into a place of work but also into an oasis of well-being, which ultimately boosts employee productivity and satisfaction.
Facts and Figures on Massage for Employees
Reduction of Stress and Anxiety
A 2012 study published in the journal “Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice” found that regular workplace massages can significantly reduce employees’ stress and anxiety levels. The exact figures may vary from study to study, but typically, participants showed a reduction of 20–30% or more.
Increased Productivity

Our Clients
Promising models that include massages for your employees
Based on our 15 years of experience, we can confirm that the successful implementation of workplace massage programs over the long term is closely linked to the company’s contribution to the costs of the massages. The models that work best are those in which the employer covers a significant portion or the entire cost.
Whether massages take place during work hours or must be made up later, however, is hardly relevant.
We would be happy to consult with you personally to help you find the right solution for your needs.

Chair massages are the most popular choice, as they take up little space, can be performed while fully clothed, and last 15–20 minutes. For longer wellness sessions during the Health Day, we also offer classic massages and reflexology.
All you need for a chair massage is a clear space of about 2 × 2 meters—a quiet office, a conference room, or a lounge area will do just fine.

What are the effects of a massage?
Whether for relaxation or therapeutic purposes, massages are increasingly being used to promote health.
Professional massages have positive effects on both the mind and body. They can relieve pain, strengthen the immune system, reduce depressive moods and anxiety, and lead to better sleep.
Massages can be used for systematic health promotion, e.g., in the workplace (workplace health management), or to treat acute symptoms.
