It looks like a tough job. But then someone had to volunteer to show how these massage chairs work. D’Liesa Burleson, the SPC administrative assistant in Health & Wellness on the Levelland campus, looked happy to help.
There are two massage chairs tucked inside the relaxation room in Health & Wellness.
Burleson says students and staff members are welcome to use one any time during business hours as long as a counseling session is not booked in the room.
“You can do a yoga massage,” she says, “or even a sleep massage.”
She says the remote is automatically set to offer 15- minute sessions.
“And it even has a heat setting,” she says, “where it kind of warms the back of your legs and your arms during the massage.”
Burleson says she sometimes uses one of the chairs herself if she has time and they’re not already in use. “So, if you got any aches,” she says, “like back aches or maybe some neck aches, it helps.”
How does the chair make her feel? In one word, “amazing”, she says.
In case you forgot, midterm exams may be coming up. So now is a good time to check these chairs out.
“It is a great relaxation, a lot of stress relief,” Burleson says. “And it just, you can come in and just take 15 minutes just to relax and close your eyes, de-stress.”
