What Makes Our On-Site Massage Service Unique
The Zest at Work Difference
Our Signature Technique We've perfected a unique blend of therapeutic approaches specifically designed for the workplace:
- Swedish Massage - Long, flowing strokes improve circulation and promote deep relaxation throughout the upper body
- Indian Head Massage - Ancient techniques release tension from the scalp, face, and neck where stress accumulates
- Chinese Acupressure - Targeted pressure on specific points relieves headaches, improves energy flow, and addresses chronic tension patterns
- Sports Massage Elements - Deep tissue work addresses specific problem areas common in desk workers
This combination addresses the full spectrum of physical stress caused by office work, from repetitive strain in the hands and wrists to chronic tension in the shoulders and upper back.
Focus Areas That Matter Our 15-minute sessions concentrate on the areas most affected by desk work:
- Upper and lower back (targeting vertebrae compression and postural strain)
- Neck (addressing "tech neck" and computer posture issues)
- Shoulders (releasing tension from mouse use and keyboard positioning)
- Arms and forearms (preventing repetitive strain injuries)
- Hands and wrists (supporting those at risk of carpal tunnel syndrome)
- Head and scalp (relieving tension headaches and mental fatigue)
The Science Behind Workplace Massage
