Seated Acupressure Chair Massage is performed on a specially, designed, comfortable chair, which helps to take the weight off the spine and give easy access to the head, neck, back, shoulders and arms.
The massage is based on forms of Japanese/Chinese acupressure/shiatsu and sometimes can be combined with other massage techniques from Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Trigger Point Massage etc.
The massage is most commonly done over the clothes and does not require oils or creams, and works on the main stress bearing areas of the upper body
Duration: 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes, body parts treated: back, neck, shoulders, arms, head and hands
Massage treatments should always begin with a quick safety check to ensure that you are fit and well and have no specific health issues or injuries that would make the massage unsuitable. It is therefore essential to highlight any potential health issues to your therapist.
Following this, you will be shown how to sit on the massage chair. just to ensure that you feel comfortable on the chair prior to the treatment.
The therapist will then use a mixture of massage techniques across your back, shoulders, arms, hands, neck and head. If you wish to have the therapist focus on certain areas it is best to request this before the treatment so as not to interrupt your moment of relaxation, or of course, simply mention during the treatment that you would prefer time spent on specific areas. The therapist will generally avoid areas that have suffered prior injury so as not the aggravate the condition.
