We ask that the company provides with an appropriate room or space to provide our services in. If this is outside, then we will require protection from the elements. If we are providing our massage chair, then we do ask for onsite parking or the cost reimbursed for CBD parking. Your staff will also be asked to complete a waiver/consent form. This is available online or in paper form.
Within a 15-minute time frame we would usually massage areas including, lower/upper back, shoulders, neck and arms, however your participants can ask our practitioner for specific areas to be massaged according to their preferences.
Your practitioner will arrive 15-20 minutes prior to your booked time to allow for set up and to go over any questions you may have. Set up only takes 5-10 minutes.

Of course, however you need to advise the practitioner of your pregnancy and if you have other health issues that need to be addressed. Our practitioner will adjust the pressure and routine to suit your pregnancy stage. Please keep in mind we many need to place you in a standard chair if your pregnancy is in the later trimester.
Our practitioners need 15-minute break every 3 hours, a 30-minute break for a 6 hour day. With new hygiene practices with the Covid-19 situation, we have now added in an additional 5-minute break every 2 hours for ‘hand washing’. This is in addition to regular hand sanitising. Your company is not charged for these breaks.
Seated chair massages are those which are provided in our ergonomic chairs, these are usually scheduled and booked prior. An “at-desk” or “roving” massage is provided for larger offices or can be a shorter duration massage at a staff’s own desk. Our practitioners rove the office floor, delivering massages on demand. To ensure a smooth and efficient service we recommend you utilise our ‘laminated hands’ for at-desk massage. These are attached to computers/desks, create a fun vibe and enable our practitioners to easily locate who wants a massage.
Our practitioners work back to back with 1 minute in between participants to allow for change over, so you can book 10- or 15-minute slots with minimal interruption.
Our team excels at time management and we ask that your staff turn up on-time, so they don’t miss out on precious minutes.
2 Scheduling Options
- We have a manual scheduling template you can use.
- Or you can opt for our online booking system here: corporatehands.com.au/pricing/online-booking-system
No problem with time extension, if the company have additional staff and would like to extend, you will need to check in with our practitioners availability and if okay, she/he will advise us and we can invoice you for the balance.
You will need to advise us of your health issue at the time of booking (online) or advise your practitioner on the day. She/he will then advise you if it is safe to proceed. Should you have any questions prior to booking, you can call or send us an email.
We are always mindful of allergies. We will ask permission prior to using any creams for massage. All hygiene products are hypo-allergenic as are our hand creams. However, we understand some people may be ultra-sensitive to products, if you want a product you are welcome to bring you own specific brand.
For CBD or high-density locations where we need to provide our ergonomic chair/s we do ask that onsite free parking is available. If not free parking is available, we will invoice for the parking costs. We do our best to source budget parking where possible.
Yes of course, these are provided at no additional cost (as long as they are returned). Should your preference be for our roving massages, our therapists will quietly roam the office space and provide neck, back and shoulder massages to your staff whilst they are seated at their desks. We can also provide our ‘laminated hands’ which are easily placed upon the monitors or desks of those staff wanting a massage, this adds a fun element to your office and also ensures our therapists can easily locate who would like a massage on the day.. fun, beneficial and efficient.
Our preference is for at least 7 days’ notice so we can be assured of confirming your preferred date, time and practitioner. However quite often we can accommodate last-minute bookings, it’s always worth a try!
In addition to onsite corporate massage services, we also provide onsite Yoga and Meditation Classes. Plus, we have qualified health professionals providing onsite health checks. You can view our corporate massage services here.
After the massage, we would recommend you drink a glass of water to maintain your hydration levels. If there are any specific issues that require stretches or referrals, your therapist will advise you after the massage.
