Health Benefits From Massages
Usually, the question “how often should you get a massage” is answered based on several factors such as your physical and emotional state, how stressed you are and of course, your budget. This being said, a question that should precede the one above is, “do you work in Singapore?”.
60% of Singaporean staff experience above average stress
Human Resources magazine reported that “Willis Towers Watson’s earlier 2017 Benefits Trends Survey found that almost half (44%) of local employers identified stress as the number one health issue. In the same vein, 60% of employees admitted to having above average or high levels of stress”. The Business Times reported it here and Population SG did here too. While we can certainly find more references, if you work in Singapore, you’ll know if this is true.
