Stress can cost organizations thousands of dollars a year in lost business and down time and lead to a higher staff turnover which in turn costs the organization more in precious resources. Medical professionals are now recognizing the link between stress and disease. Stress is the main cause of productivity decline in the workplace. Chronic pain, hypertension and headaches account for over half of all absences.
Successful companies such as Ford Motor Company, American Airlines, AT&T, American Express, Bradley Allen & Assoc., State Defense agency and the Justice Department are all using on-site massage therapy as an advantage for peak performance.
