Vtouch Massage Reduces Workplace Depression
Massage therapy will be offered by more than ten percent of all companies by 2012 according to a new survey conducted by the manufacturing marketing research division of TR Cutler, Inc., in a national survey of more than one hundred thirty one U.S. manufacturers; all show that massage improved bottom line of employers by reducing workplace depression. The study found that after twelve weeks, 269 employees who had once-weekly, 45-minute massages in the manufacturing workplace had dramatically better productivity and reduced depression than a control group of 250 employees who did not receive the massage therapy. The massage recipients verbally reported they were less fatigued and more clear-headed and less depressed to a statistically significant finding.
As a component of workplace-wellness programs, few massage therapists have specialized methodologies for taking massage onsite into workplaces to reduce depression. With the number of staff at most manufacturing and processing facilities shrinking over the last decade many workers have seen their duties and expectations grow, increasing the propensity of depression. Weekly massage allowed works to experience less overwhelming from an intensive or stressful workload.
This overtaxed workforce lack the intimate knowledge of the processes. Instead automation processes are monitored to allow them to take consistently effective and timely corrective action when presented with unusual conditions during their data collection and observation rounds. Manufacturing companies take full advantage of their human capital to keep things running smoothly and profitably. Providing front-line workers with training and reference materials representing the accumulated best practices of the organization is one way to impart the knowledge needed to take the best actions in the field. Front-line plant floor workers by definition do not typically sit behind a desk. To be effective they need the ability to react appropriately as they perform their rounds in the field, without relying on supervisors and desk-bound reference documents to assist in their decision-making process.
Nearly three-fourths (74%) of manufacturing workers reported in a national survey that their job is very stressful and leading to a periodic depression.
Vincent Monforte, LMT and creator of the VTouch Method (www.VTouchmassage.com), noted that, “Companies that understand lean manufacturing principles quickly grasp that stress is costly and wasteful. By offering massage therapy to employees goes far beyond a perk, and increases employee health, productivity, and morale. The cost of depression untreated is so much great than the relative low cost of weekly massages.”
The VTouch Method specifically addresses the sources of physical stress and depression. The South Florida-based firm contracts with manufacturers and other industrial organizations by scheduling massage appointments to accommodate the shift schedules. Monforte noted, “The benefits of a therapeutic massage in the workplace are dramatic. This systematic approach relieves physical problems associated with repetitive tasks, while balancing the effects of stress and reducing tension headaches as well as anxiety levels, and allows the employee to avoid stress related diseases and dysfunction often seen in clinical depression.”
