HF-Massage (7/12)
Program benefitsn Reduced stress among employees,
resulting in increased productivity
n Massage services provided by
licensed, insured massage
professionals
n Ability to choose from chair and/
or table massage and a variety of
massage types, including:
Aromatherapy massage: Essential
oils from plants are massaged into
the skin to enhance the healing
and relaxing effects of massage.
Essential oils are believed to have a
powerful effect on mood by
stimulating two structures deep in
the brain known to store emotions
and memory.
Myofascial release: Gentle
pressure and body positioning are
used to relax and stretch the
muscles, fascia (connective tissue)
and related structures.
Reflexology: Specialized thumb
and finger techniques are applied
to the hands and/or feet.
Reflexologists believe that these
areas contain “reflex points” or
direct connections to specific
organs and structures throughout
the body.
Shiatsu: Gentle finger and hand
pressure are applied to specific
points on the body to relieve pain
and enhance the flow of energy
(known as qi) through the body’s
energy pathways (called
meridians). Shiatsu is widely used
in traditional Chinese medicine.
Sports massage: Often used on
professional athletes and other
active individuals, sports massage
can enhance performance and
prevent and treat sports-related
injuries.
Trigger point massage: Pressure is
applied to “trigger points” (tender
areas where the muscles have been
damaged) to alleviate muscle
spasms and pain.
Each participant receives:
n A powerful tool to help relieve
stress, increase flexibility and relax
overused muscles.
n Convenient, efficient access to
massage therapy services.
n Massage from a trained
professional.
We provide established
marketing materials to

Target audience: Massage can benefit anyone, and is especially
helpful for those who need to boost energy, reduce recovery time after an
injury, ease pain, and enhance relaxation, mood and well-being. In the
