HOW PARTHIA-OCM WORKS


Muscles at the back of the neck must always be tensed, otherwise the head would fall forward when a person is sitting or standing. When these muscles work too hard, it can cause neck pain and tension headaches. People who are worried or under stress often tighten their muscles more than is necessary to hold their head upright -- in other words, they are literally 'tense'.

Because of the many reflex or pressure points in the hands, massage and passive stretches have a beneficial effect on the whole body.

Trigger points or "muscle knots" are small patches of muscle tissue in spasm. A few trigger points are usually just annoyances, but many bad ones constitute a syndrome: Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS).


Massaging the tense muscle groups of the head and neck helps circulation and eases pain.
Massage improves blood flow and eases tension, thus relaxing the shoulder and back muscles.
Our ONSITE CHAIR MASSAGE is a 15 to 20-minute massage that focuses on the high tension areas of the neck, back, shoulders, arms, hands, thighs and legs. Chair massage is performed on an ergonomically designed portable massage chair. You sit on the massage chair facing forward, with your head in a face-rest. Chair massage is especially effective at producing therapeutic results in a brief period of time by concentrating on key tension areas. No disrobing is necessary.

The TENSION HEADACHE is the most common type of headache and is caused by the tightening of the muscles of the face, neck and scalp because of stress, exertion, or poor posture. The tightening muscles cause expansion and constriction of blood vessels, which can make head pain worse. Eyestrain from paperwork, reading and prolonged focusing are common causes of headaches in the workplace.

BACK PAIN can result from repetitive tasks, lifting, stretching, twisting, or simply remaining in one position for prolonged periods while assuming a wrong posture. Office workers and those with static seated positioning are at risk for developing gluteus minimustrigger points.

RESEARCH CONSISTENTLY SHOWS THAT :
  • A 15-minute chair massage results in decreased job stress, increased alertness and increased speed & accuracy on math computations.
  • Office workers massaged regularly were more alert, performed
    better and were less stressed than those who were not massaged.1
  • Up to 90% of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress-related complaints.
  • Stress accounts for $26 billion in medical and disability payments and $95 billion in lost productivity per year.
  • Over 50% of lost work days are stress related which keeps about one million people per day from attending work.2
  • Health care expenditures are nearly 50% greater for workers who report high levels of stress.3
  • 40% of job turnover is due to stress.4
