Onsite Massages

Onsite massages are great in any business. Nurses who work in a hospital or nursing home deserve chair massages in their place of work.

It is difficult to imagine anyone who works harder than a nurse in a hospital. Nurses usually work 12 hour shifts. They are on their feet constantly, checking on patients, administering medication, helping in surgery, in intensive care, bathing patients, lifting patients, and the list goes on. Physically, they do a lot and their bodies hurt.

When my first son was born prematurely, I witnessed firsthand for 6 long weeks how hard nurses work to save the lives of these tiny babies. They were amazing, constantly on the move from one baby to another. Monitors would go off on all of their little patients day and night and the nurses remained calm and professional.

Some hospitals bring in massage therapists to perform chair massages on their nurses. A 15 minute chair massage can make all the difference between a cheerful, relaxed nurse and one who is grouchy because her shoulders and back hurt.

Patients who are in pain sometimes give nurses a lot of grief. They can be very demanding. Each nurse is in charge of so many patients on a floor. Sometimes, all of the patients want attention at once.

Nurses do not get to sit down much. When they do, it is to catch up on their charting. Everytime they do anything for or with a patient, they must record it. After a 12 hour shift, a nurse can hurt from head to toe. She/he is in desperate need not only of a chair massage, but a table massage!

Onsite massages are normally chair massage only. A great idea for Christmas and/or birthdays would be to give each nurse a gift certificate for a table massage.
