An insomniac is described as a person who has trouble either falling asleep or staying asleep. Chair massage among other things can help with this situation. The prevalence of insomnia is staggering, with more than a third of adults suffering from occasional insomnia and a tenth of Americans experiencing chronic insomnia. Chronic insomnia is characterized as poor sleep every night or most nights for more than six months. This cycle can cause extreme fatigue, problems with concentration and can adversely affect a person’s mood and well-being.sleep_blog-pic_oct-2016

The average American worker, with the daily stressors and responsibilities of the workday, cannot afford to lose sleep. A good night’s sleep is very closely linked to productivity and overall employee satisfaction.

There are many ways to treat insomnia. One viable option to help insomniacs is massage therapy. On-site corporate chair massage is one form of massage therapy that can work wonders for American workers.

The effect chair massage has on neurochemistry may provide a solid link between massage and insomnia treatment. Quite often employees benefit from this program as massage can aid the body in relaxation AND offer the same type of restful feeling similar to a quick “cat nap.”

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter responsible for one’s mood, behavior, body temperature, physical coordination, appetite and is necessary for a good night’s sleep. Corporate chair massage can directly influence the body’s production of serotonin. It has been proved that massage therapy reduces long-term pain and increases serotonin levels.

In addition to sleep being related to the serotonin levels in the brain, stress levels are also a key factor in determining the quality of sleep one gets. If one is stressed, it takes a lot longer for him to fall asleep than if he is relaxed. On-site corporate chair massage relieves stress. 

One client in Silver Spring, Maryland updated Corporate Massage Kneads with her recent experience (pre-COVID) with this testimonial.

As one of our clients put it:

“I am so happy you have returned to our Call Center. The staff is professional, friendly, knowledgeable. If you have not tried their services, it is worth 10 minutes of your lunch or breaks to give them a try. You will not regret it.”

Wellness programs like chair massage offer a great start to helping workers get their insomnia under control. Those cured of insomnia find it easier to get a good night’s rest, which contributes to greater productivity and employee morale.

Massage and specifically mobile chair massage is a great choice to help the thousands of people that have insomnia. Because serotonin plays a role in sleep in multiple areas of the brain, an insomniac must seek ways to increase serotonin levels in order to win back lost sleep.
