While research specifically examining the connection between massage and improved focus at work is limited, several studies suggest the potential benefits:

A study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (2008) found that onsite chair massages led to immediate and sustained improvements in perceived stress, job satisfaction, and alertness among employees.

A study published in the International Journal of Neuroscience (2017) reported that a single session of massage therapy improved cognitive performance, including attention and speed, in healthy adults.

Research published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (2018) indicated that massage therapy interventions, including Swedish and acupressure techniques, were associated with reduced stress and enhanced mental well-being.

While more research is needed, these studies suggest that massage may have positive effects on stress reduction and mental functioning, which could potentially translate into improved focus and productivity in the workplace.
