Massage chair provides a short break for nursing staff

The massage chair world in Weinstadt near Stuttgart is always up for a good deed. In 2021, the innovative company, which operates a second branch in Leverkusen, enabled the staff of a nursing home to use a massage chair. This came about through the Hope Bearer Prize, which was awarded to the home by the Evangelical Community Association of Württemberg (Apis). The nursing staff at the Schönblick home in Schwäbisch Gmünd (www.schoenblick.de) were able to receive the award on behalf of all nursing staff in Germany.

Care can be important for each of us

Michael Roedeske, the owner of Massage Chair World, is particularly pleased that the prize was awarded to the staff of a nursing home: “Nursing is a profession that not everyone can take on, but that everyone may have to do one day,” he says. For him, massage chairs are an investment in your health: "The little break you can give yourself with them is enormously important - for both body and mind. I am all the more pleased when employers think of their employees and visibly value their work by using a massage chair," says the entrepreneur. The Hopeful Prize is reserved for people who are socially committed. The idea of ​​purchasing a massage chair for the carers came from the home manager of Haus Schönblick, Anja Kontermann. It was important to her to be able to provide a well-suited model. She quickly found what she was looking for in the massage chair world. The employees immediately took the chair to their hearts and are happy about the benefit for their backs and the warmth that allows them to briefly forget about everyday life.

Massage chairs are also used for residents of retirement and nursing homes. "For old or demented people, joyful moments are often rare. A small moment in a massage chair can work wonders," says specialist Manuela Radu, whose customers include numerous retirement homes. The massage chair world relies on the company's high-quality Senator, PremiumFlex and Vita models AllgäuTech, one of the last companies producing in Germany.
