Massage for office workers
8 hours at a screen, a mouse, a keyboard, online meetings — your muscular-fascial system doesn't love that. For “office” tension, a combination that works well is Shiatsu (neck, shoulders, forearms) and Thai massage (stretching a closed-off chest and hips). At Tera Thai in Gdańsk and Gdynia you can release it in 60–90 minutes — even after work, until 22:00. Working at Olivia Business Centre? From Oliwa, our Zaspa salon is about 10 minutes by car, or a short SKM or tram ride.
Signs of office overload
- Stiff neck and shoulders by the second half of the day
- Tired wrists and forearms from the mouse and keyboard
- A feeling of tension around the temples or the back of the head
- A feeling of “tired eyes” and a clenched jaw
- A stiff lower back after long sitting
What office work does to your body
The biggest problem isn't sitting itself, but a static position without movement. Postural muscles — neck, shoulders, lower back — work in a small range of motion for hours. Hence the fatigue and stiffness by the end of the day.
Add to that “tech neck”: the head pushed forward toward the monitor loads the cervical spine several times harder, “mouse shoulder” tightens the shoulder muscles, and a closed-off chest shortens the breath.
Regular massage releases the overloaded areas and gives you an hour to feel what full relaxation is like.

Frequency: every 2–3 weeks
For most office workers, the sweet spot is a 60–90 minute session every 2–3 weeks. Many companies in the Tricity fund massage as a benefit — ask about vouchers for businesses. For more on the neck and back, see our article on massage for back and neck pain.
