You know you need a body massage to get rid of your work-related stress but you never seem to make the time. First of all you have to set up an appointment with a really good massage parlor, but they are booked solid for a whole week. Now you really can’t say where you’ll be next week, and even if you are in town, you don’t know when you’ll be able to spend two hours for a body massage, taking into account the time it’ll take you to drive through downtown traffic to the parlor. So what’s the sense of making an appointment you don’t know you’ll be able to keep? Your body massage is put on a ‘To Do’ list, and keeps hanging fire. Meantime, your tension keeps mounting till you are fit to bust! Good news for you, sir! You can stop tearing this magazine up into teeny-weeny pieces and stuffing your mouth with it! Just get yourself a ‘chair massage’! You’ll find a chair massage service provider just about everywhere: shopping malls, office complexes, and entertainment plazas. It is a partial body massage, and won’t take up much of your non-existent ’spare’ time either. But oh! Will you feel relaxed! You’ll find yourself singing: “What a wonderful feeling, I’m happy again!” after you spit out the last of the pieces of this cholesterol-free magazine.
There a number of good points about the chair massage. First of all, you don’t need to set up an appointment at all. Secondly, you don’t have to travel to a particular destination: the chair massage is where you are. Thirdly, the all important time factor: get the ‘Zip Trip’ 5-minute massage or the more leisurely 30-minute ‘Classic Trip’ depending on who you’re waiting for. Fourthly, you don’t have to take your clothes off. Lastly, it’s low priced, very low priced. Now that’s a package deal that you just can’t refuse!
The main reason behind the popularity of the chair massage is its convenience. Apart from corporate offices, chair massage services exist in malls, hotels, market areas, and entertainment plazas. You will find a chair massage service being offered in and around most places you visit.
Shopping malls and arcades, bazaars, health and fitness centers, gymnasiums, dance schools, and sports centers are favorite locations for chair massage service providers. Then there are those itinerant chair massage providers who come calling at large corporate office complexes. They may even provide you a chair massage in your very office! What could be more convenient than that!
The chair massage service is gaining popularity for another reason as well: plain and simple shyness. Some people have a problem with going au natural in front of a masseur. Some have a problem with getting touched, on their bare body, by the masseur. They understand that this all absolutely reputable, and that the masseur is doing a thoroughly professional job, very much like a medical practitioner. Yet there are those who fight shy of disrobing for a massage. A chair massage avoids all these issues. You don’t have to take off a thing except maybe your footwear if you’re getting your feet massaged. The masseur doesn’t touch your bare body except those which are already exposed. So those people who were chary of getting a full body massage for this reason, are now lining up for a chair massage.
Cost wise, the chair massage is more attractive than a salon massage. A chair massage is usually about a fourth of the cost of a salon massage, not to mention the cost you incur in driving and incidentals.
A chair massage is an ideal way to get rid of your stress and tensions. It is conveniently located, it is conveniently timed, it is conveniently administered, and it is conveniently priced. All this convenience – and you are still reading this article? Just walk over to that chair in front of us and get a fabulous chair massage while we’re waiting for Godot!
