Benefits of corporate massage and chiropractic for the workplace

Now what do all those benefits for the employees translate into for your company?
What can this really do for the bottom line?

1. Increase employee productivity
Employees simply give more to organizations who take good care of them. And that extra alertness, focus and mental clarity doesn’t hurt either. Corporate massage and chiropractic contributes to alleviating employee headaches, back pain and anxiety. This allows them to give all their focus to their jobs.

2. Attract top talent
In our competitive marketplace, it pays to have an ace up your sleeve. There are lots of fun and creative perks to help draw top talent in to your organization; massage  and chiropractic is at the top of the list.

3. Increase employee retention
In addition to attracting top talent, that talent will stick around when they feel appreciated.  After you’ve worked hard to hire and train some new talent in your organization, keep them.  One of the benefits of corporate massage and chiropractic programs is that you won’t see that investment walking over to your competitor’s office.

4. Decrease Worker’s Compensation claims
This goes back to the employee benefits of treating carpal tunnel and tendonitis, and preventing repetitive stress injuries. Since those issues are being effectively addressed, the number of worker’s compensation claims goes down. 

5. Reduce Health Care Costs
In a recent study on the effects of corporate massage and chiropractic on health care costs, employees experiencing low back pain that received chair massage spent 31% less on doctor’s visits and prescription medication.

Plus, as shown in the employee benefits section, some of the most expensive health care conditions dramatically improve with regular onsite massage and chiropractic, thereby reducing costs as an employer as well.

6. Improve office morale
In our experience, employees tend to circle massage and chiropractic days on their calendars and mention often how much they appreciate the program and look forward to coming into work on that day in particular.

We can confirm that we hear these same experience from just about every single client we have.
