Human resource officers have, over the past decade or so, began to understand how massage therapy can benefit their employees. Employees that sit at a desk for most of their day are at risk for carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain, back pain and tension headaches. Because of these issues, many companies have started to invite massage therapists into the office to provide stress and tension relief to their staff.
Massage therapists that specialize in corporate massages use portable massage chairs. These chairs are specially designed to be lightweight and easy to haul.
Usually made from aluminum, these chairs can be transported from office to office with ease. Employees can lie forward with their faces comfortably resting in a face cradle. This type of massage is performed without the use of oils and you can continue to wear your office attire.
Portable massage chairs have revolutionized the massage therapy industry. Massage therapists now have the ability and flexibility to take their business just about anywhere.
Not only are corporate massages becoming mainstream, but therapists are also more commonly "setting up shop" at other places. Shopping malls, discount stores and grocery chains are among some of the venues that massage therapists frequent. One of the most popular alternative locations for a massage therapist is to bring a portable massage chair is the beach. Customers love getting a relaxing massage while listening to the peaceful sound of the waves crashing into the shore.
By using portable massage chairs to set up at corporate offices and other locations, massage therapists can increase their visibility and client base.
Offering fifteen to twenty minute massages is a great way to increase their income and it is beneficial to the employees and business productivity. Human resource personnel are usually very receptive to massage therapist visits because employees look forward to receiving a massage to relieve the stress and monotony of their days..

Golf Related Back Problems
Reducing their score is not the only worry on golfer's minds these days. PGA players and amateur golfers suffer from back problems that don't just hurt their backs but their scores as well. Reducing back problems may be the most important concern for golfers looking to for long term enjoyment from golf. PremierMassageChair.org www.premiermassagechairs.org offers golfers better back pain solutions than simply hanging up the clubs.
Tight back muscles are the leading cause of golf related back problems.
The twisting and turning action that is required to play golf, takes its toll on the spine and back muscles. Injuries are far more likely when muscles are cold, so measures should be taken to warm the back up before, during and after golf. Golfers should warm up slowly and stretch with caution. It is also wise to try and walk as much of the golf course as possible verses riding to keep the body from cooling down between shots.
A very enjoyable and effective...

Chocolate: You've Come a Long Way, Baby
The history of chocolate is a rich and interesting one. Most of the world didn't know chocolate existed until Columbus went to the Americas and took the cacao bean with him back to Spain. However, it wasn't until the Conquistadors went to Mexico that the Spaniards really discovered the wonders of cacao.The Aztecs and Mayans worshipped the cacao bean and believed it was a food of the Gods. The Aztecs used it as both nourishment and currency. They believed the fruit of the cacao tree imparted wisdom and they made a special drink with it called xocolatl, of which the Aztec emperor Montezuma is said to have consumed large amounts every day.
