Event Massage

We all know the immense pressure for players to stay alive in high stakes poker tournaments and the built up stress and tension that’s caused for sitting hunched over for hour after hour.

Luckily Five Minute Angels provides onsite event massage specialists who are trained to help venues ensure that their clientele are refreshed and relaxed.

Event massage is a growing phenomenon with both casino managers and poker tournament event organisors beginning to appreciate the true value of onsite massage being provided by highly trained and glamorous masseuses.

Players are encouraged to request an event massage from one of the circulating masseuses so that there is minimum disruption to play. As a result, the Five Minute Angels team remain very much in the background keeping everyone who benefits energised whilst the main focus remains on the game itself. Event massage can also help recipients to continue playing for longer at their peak performance which is great news for both the player and the venue. For more information regarding event massage visit the Five Minute Angels website.

Office Massage

Office Massage could play an important role in companies across the U.K. as workers turn to alcohol, smoking and comfort eating to deal with the rising stress of their jobs, warns The Stroke Association and Siemens.

In a joint report, they found almost a quarter of staff (23%) said they would smoke more to deal with stress, while more than a third (34%) said they would drink more.

The worst sector for drinking was marketing, where 59% drink said they were drinking more than usual to combat the stress of their job. Having a masseuse provide regular Office Massage would certainly help, but may be only part of the solution.

The recruitment sector was deemed the most stressful, with 82% of recruitment consultants reporting regular stress. The legal sector followed closely behind with 78% of employees feeling the pressure.

Joe Korner, director of external affairs for The Stroke Association, believes that it is up to employers to do more to encourage staff to de-stress, especially through regular exercise. Otherwise, he warns, there could be dire implications for employees’ health.

Eating more to combat work-related stress was the answer for 43%. Just 13% take exercise to let off steam.

Korner said: “Stress is undesirable and responding to it in the wrong ways, for instance by drinking excessive alcohol, over-eating or smoking, can all lead to high blood pressure which is the single biggest risk factor for strokes. Stress is a major issue for people of all ages, especially those working in stressful occupations.”
