As of January 2026, I have chosen to focus my services on provision of the very popular and convenient SEATED CHAIR MASSAGE - brought TO THE CUSTOMER in group settings at the customer's location. This can be in the workplace, at events, at the customer's home, or other convenient acceptable place. See a detailed description below regarding SEATED CHAIR MASSAGE

PRICE - For simplicity, I have now set my service cost to be the old-fashioned rate of $60/hour for whatever time length the client requests (CASH ONLY, please - checks, charge cards or other methods of payment are not accepted). Customers will likely find this to be an excellent savings compared to that rate charged by many others. For work in the immediate vicinity, I do not charge any extra for travel time.

OTHER - Although I am not presently intending on offering Swedish or Therapeutic (deep tissue) table massage at this time as part of my outcall services brought to the customer's location, I am retaining a description of those styles of massage below for the customer's general educational information, and as a reference to the descriptions I provided for in-office service previously offered.

Seated Chair Massage ~ this is a great option for clients that want quick relief for their muscular tension and pain, or for clients that may feel more comfortable remaining fully dressed during the session.

The client leans and kneels onto a very comfortable padded chair used specifically for chair massage, and the therapist applies a number of highly effective massage techniques to the client's neck, shoulders, back, (and gluteal/hip muscles, if the client wishes), and arms and hands to relieve a great amount of aches and pains that are extremely common in today's world with significant computer usage and/or repetitive motions performed in the workplace or at home.

If the client prefers, due to knee problems or other reasons, the knee pads may be easily removed from the chair and the client may place his or her feet directly on the floor. The chair itself can be adjusted into numerous positions to provide the greatest level of comfort for the client.

I offer SEATED CHAIR MASSAGE sessions ranging from 15 minutes up to 60 minutes in individual session length for those that want relief from muscular tension and pain, but prefer concentration on neck, shoulders, upper back and arms and hands...and who just may want the relief of a chair massage while having the convenient ability to remain fully clothed during their session in the group setting environment.

PLEASE NOTE ~ For outcall work where I deliver massage to the customer location, I have a preferred minimum combined session booked time of 2 hours - so my work is particularly intended for settings with multiple customer so that multiple sessions as short as about 10 minutes can be arranged to serve several people in the time I am at onsite at the customer location. In group settings, the chair massages are efficiently performed one after the other, and with appropriate cleansing of equipment between the sessions.

PAYMENT - For group settings, I always take payment in CASH ONLY at the end of the of the arranged time period. This allows each participant to provide payment in advance to the person coordinating the outcall visit, and then I accept the full payment from the coordinator after everyone has received their session. This method allows each participant to know when their session will begin so they can be on hand and ready for their turn and avoids individual payment transaction time delays between subsequent sessions that can quickly throw off the best-planned schedule.

Workplace Chair Massage ~ chair massage brought to the employees at their company location is a huge benefit for both the employee AND the employer. 10, 15, 20 and 30 minute sessions at only $10, $15, $20 and $30...and non-disruptive to the work schedule, minimal space needed to set up and provide service (a small office or conference area in a quiet area with a little privacy is perfect...and if that is not available, then a spot out of the immediate hustle of the work environment is generally sufficient), and the client can remain fully clothed in their normal work attire.

Currently offering this service within the city of Jefferson City, and immediate surrounding areas. Please call or email me at steveofashland@gmail.com for more information!! THERE ARE NO CONTRACTS OR VERBAL COMMITMENTS REQUIRED, SO PLEASE GIVE THIS SERVICE A TRY!! YOU WILL BE VERY GLAD YOU DID, AND SO WILL YOUR CO-WORKERS, EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYERS!!

Additional Information for the Employer ~

Chair massage is a very quick method of improving a person’s overall sense of well-being, and my offering of chair massage in the workplace is an exciting wellness service I offer for the benefit of employers and their employees. I believe it is an exciting service because I offer true wellness benefits by bringing trained therapeutic massage skills directly to the workplace environment.

The benefits of therapeutic massage have become well known in both the medical world, as well as by those who receive massage on a regular basis. In fact, massage has become so recognized for its benefits that the Bureau of Labor has identified massage therapy as one of the fastest growing professions of all. Why - perhaps because massage can bring immediate and true health benefits…such as, relief of stress and headaches, relief of muscular tensions due to overuse or repetitive actions, improvement of circulation, increase in alertness and reduction of fatigue, and many more. And when a person is relieved of physical stress and tension, their mental and emotional state of well-being is benefitted, too.

In just a few minutes of time, a person can receive a great chair massage and walk away feeling greatly relieved from muscular stresses that are often developed in the workplace due to repetitive actions or muscle positions held for extended periods of time…for example, tight neck muscles, sore shoulders and upper back, painful knotted places within the muscles, headaches, lower back pain, aching forearms, sore wrists, and many more.

In only a short time, chair massage can provide great relief to tension and stress that is painful and distracting to the employee and even improve attitude and even enhance overall effectiveness in the workplace.

The greatest advantage of chair massage in the workplace is that it is not disruptive to the employer’s business, it is performed with the customer fully clothed, it provides an immediate benefit to the employee’s state of wellbeing, and it promotes great appreciation among employees when employers allow this wellness benefit to be made available to them.

AND as a side benefit from assisting employees in the workplace, the employer also benefits from improved employee health and wellbeing, and also from reduction in lost time due to pain issues; or losses due to workman’s compensation claims. The employer finds that they have healthier and happier employees…and an improved workplace – in production and in attitude. Best of all, it is very economical and cost-effective when compared to other wellness approaches – and it works!

These are some of the many ways that both employees and employers can benefit from chair massage brought to the workplace on a regular basis. The benefits are so great from a wellness perspective as well as from the cost savings perspective too.

For any employer that is interested, I would appreciate the opportunity to visit with you and share more information.

Full Body Swedish Massage ~ is the most well known and often-requested form of massage, and it is sure to provide the client with great relief from the tensions and pains that build up in the body over a period of time.

Swedish Massage is performed with the client lying on a comfortable padded table. The client is generally unclothed to allow the application of lotion or oil, and is appropriately draped during the massage, although the degree to which a client is unclothed is entirely the client's choice and comfort level.

Using small amounts of non-scented lotions or oils for lubrication and comfort on the client's skin, the therapist applies several massage techniques including long gliding strokes, kneading, compressions and circular motions to the body in order to physically relax tension in the body and bring about the many benefits of massage for the client. And, should a client wish that a certain area of their body be avoided during the massage, they merely need to inform the therapist.

If at any time a client should feel any level of discomfort for any reason, the client should immediately notify the massage therapist (and with this being the case at any massage therapy business the client chooses to get their massage) so that the massage therapist can make immediate adjustments accordingly to the client's satisfaction.

Not to be confused with Deep Tissue Massage which applies massage techniques to deeper muscles, Swedish Massage also allows "deeper" or "firmer" pressure if the client should desire that. In fact, a full range of pressure firmness can be offered with Swedish Massage for the client's own preference.

Therapeutic Massage ~ sometimes it takes a little more concentrated massage techniques than typically provided in a Full Body Swedish Massage to relieve the client's problem areas of painful knots, "trigger points" that refer pain elsewhere in the body, adhesions, very tight muscles and other areas of body tension.

...and in those cases, it may be necessary to exert a little "deeper" application of techniques to get to the source of the problem, and so that relief can occur.

Therapeutic Massage can be thought of as skillful use of techniques to work deeper muscles, or areas of client concern that need more specific concentration.

We inform our clients that Therapeutic Massage is not the same thing as what some clients might think to request as "deeper - or firmer pressure". Because Therapeutic Massage tends to focus on problem areas in muscles below, or "deep" to surface level muscles, there is the possibility for some brief discomfort during the session due to unfamiliar sensations experienced in a Therapeutic Massage as needed to relieve the problem...however, we communicate with our client during the session to obtain feedback for the therapist regarding the client's comfort level so that the Therapeutic Massage is not an unpleasant experience and so the greatest relief can occur for the client.

IN GENERAL - Therapeutic Massage for Minors ~ All table massage clients must be of age 21 or older (except as noted below), and at events where clients are receiving chair massage, any person requesting chair massage that is less than 18 years of age, must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who authorizes the massage by their signature and who is present during the massage. In some instances, I may accept table massage for a minor when the parent or guardian attends and authorizes their approval by signature, is present in the room during the massage session, and indicates by signature their approval of the procedures at the end of the massage session. However, the decision to offer this service will be totally at my own personal discretion, and partially dependent upon the nature of work that would be needed. Any situation in which massage for a minor is requested would be based on need - such as for pain experienced by a sports activity, or something similar. Again, I reserve the authority to choose if I feel massage for a minor is or is not appropriate, even if the parent or guardian requests that massage.
