There are multiple benefits for massage therapists to utilize chair massage both in the office and on the road.
Half of the therapists I know never bothered to buy a massage chair while they other half swear by them. I personally saw the benefits of having one versus not.
Having one set up in your office, especially those who work out of a doctor, chiropractor, acupuncture or any other non traditional massage office is a great way to gain new clients and get people comfortable with massage therapy without having to undress. It's also the perfect time to educate those people who are unfamiliar with the benefits of massage therapy. You also could use it to book shorter sessions at $1.00 per minute with a 15 minute maximum or whatever works best for you to fill in any gaps in your schedule. I found that with people's hectic schedules sometimes they could only spare 10 or 15 minutes or they tweaked something between sessions. People would happily swing by for a quick session to hold them over until their next regular session. It was a great way to profit off what would have been lost time.
Bringing a massage chair to local events or setting up at a local business is a great way to increase your visibility in the community. Working an event or fair you get to reach a large number of people who you may never have met otherwise. You could also set up with a dry erase board with your company information and offer coupons or advertise specials while giving out free 10 minute chair massages.
