WHAT IS CHAIR MASSAGE
Chair massage is a seated massage modality designed to make bodywork more accessible, comfortable, and supportive for clients who may not be able to comfortably lie face down, lie flat, lean forward, or get on and off a massage table.
​
Performed while seated in a specialized massage chair, this modality allows the body to remain upright and supported while still receiving intentional, therapeutic touch. It can be a helpful option for clients navigating certain medical conditions, mobility limitations, pregnancy considerations, injury recovery, or general discomfort with traditional table massage positioning.
​
Chair massage is especially suited for focused work on the neck, shoulders, upper back, arms, and hands, though each session can be adapted based on your needs and comfort.
​
Your therapist will use thoughtful, focused techniques to help relieve tension, support circulation, and create a sense of ease in the body.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your session will begin with a brief check-in so your therapist can understand what you’re experiencing, what areas need support, and what positions feel comfortable or uncomfortable for your body.
​
You’ll remain clothed and seated throughout the massage. Your therapist will help you settle into the chair in a way that feels supported, then use massage techniques based on your needs, often focusing on the neck, shoulders, back, arms, and hands.
​
Chair massage can be calming, restorative, and highly effective, especially for clients who need a more accessible approach to bodywork.
​
As always, you are encouraged to communicate throughout the session. You can ask for adjustments in pressure, positioning, temperature, or focus at any time.
