Introduction

Stress is a fact of life, and the workplace is no exception. Deadlines, changing technology, and conflicts are just a few of the stresses workers cope with daily. The effects of stress can lead to headaches, backaches, neck pain, listlessness, depression, irritability, physical and emotional exhaustion just to name a few. While spas offer luxurious treatments for relieving stress, the duration, costs and necessity to leave the workplace make it impractical to fit it in to the midst of a workday. In comparison, well-being centres cater to those who have 20 -30 minutes to spare, cost substantially less but offer equally effective treatments using holistic massage therapies within an environment that is highly conducive to relaxation. However, it still becomes necessary for workers to leave the workplace to visit such centres. Based on frequent patronage of our centres by office workers, FOOTRUB - the country's first ever chain of health and well-being centre launched FOOTRUB On-Site® in January 2007 to make our acclaimed well-being massage treatments aligned to the needs of the corporate sector and to make available these services, at exhibitions, conventions, trade fairs and various sporting events. Although a revolutionary new concept to Sri Lanka, on-site massage has been effectively used to relieve stress in the workplace for everyone from CEO's to hourly paid workers for over a decade. On-site massage excels as a corporate wellness program as it requires minimal in-house coordination, is cost-effective and offers immediate results with little or no loss of productive work time.

What is FOOTRUB On-site®?

FOOTRUB On-site is an extension of our well-being service where we visit your workplace on a regular basis to provide stress-relief and "a few moments of total relaxation". Our well-being massage treatments are provided within the convenience of your office in specialised, ergonomically designed massage chairs which are set up for the day, within a quieter space in your office. As with our regular service, all massage treatments are performed while you remain fully clothed in your work attire and require no oils. The treatments are designed to take no more than 20 minutes - the same length of time as a coffee/tea or cigarette break but provide a much deeper sense of relaxation. Treatments focus on tired, weary feet and on the upper body areas that often cause problems for those who sit at a desk or use a computer for long periods. The service is known to leave people feeling relaxed, refreshed and revitalised, which has a direct influence on morale, productivity and a reduction in stress related sick-leave.
