Onsite Massage is a great gift to give to your fellow staff, onsite massage also creates a great space for your staff to work in.

1. Breathe normally Sit on a sturdy chair with your back straight. (Breath in and out when you raise your knees.) Raise your knees and pull them up and towards you and then clasp around your knees with your arms. Your feet must not touch the chair and you must keep your back straight. Hold for a count of five, and then lowered your legs slowly to the floor. Repeat 3 times.

2. Breathe normally and stand straight. Take your left arm and reach behind your back as far as you can reach. Now take your right hand and reach over your right shoulder, reach your left hand up your back and try to touch or hold your fingers. Hold for the count of 5, now reverse hands. Repeat 3 times with each arm.

3. Stand with your legs apart, toes pointed to the sides. Keep your hips square to the front. Place your hands on your hips, keeping your legs straight; gently push your left hip over to the right. Feel the stretch on the inside of your left thigh, hold for the count of 10 then release. Repeat 5 times to both sides.

4. Lay on a couch or bench. Breathe normally. Keep your feet flat and in contact with the surface. Slowly slide your feet towards your buttocks until your knees are raised Then gently slide them back down the bed and point your toes. Repeat 4 times. (If you have a problem with your back or your hips keep your feet in contact with the bed at all times). If you wish to extend this exercise you can do so by raising your knees to your chest.

5. Stand with your hands down by your sides arms held straight. Raise your hands only, lift them upwards with palms facing the floor, feel the stretch in your wrists and fingers. Now flex your hands downwards bringing the palm of your hand closer to the side of your body. Flex your hands in both directions to increase flexibility. Repeat up and down 5 times, relax and then shake and flick fingers.
