Effects of Stress

Repetitive Stress Injuries are caused by repeated physical movements and result in damage to the tendons, nerves, muscles, and other soft body tissue.   Today’s increased use of computers in the workplace has resulted in widespread occurrence of injuries to hands, arms, and shoulders, as well as conditions such as Tendinitis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, or Cumulative Trauma Disorder.  Employers invest money in adjustable chairs, wrist rests, and methods to shift and vary tasks.  On-site chair massage programs can provide a relatively inexpensive addition to these work safety programs that offices may already have in place.

Research has shown that massage therapy:

• lowers job stress scores
