i know of an office here in amsterdam does, although in principle it's a good idea the workers consider that the boss uses it as a way to avoid RSI and stress claims.
One of the head honchos in my firm's division is trying to have someone come in every other Friday.
He presented this to our division in our weekly meeting. He said something along the lines of, "You guys have been working really hard and need a good stress relief. I'm trying to see if there is interest in having a masseuse come in every other week and rub your shoulders and neck for about 10-15 minutes each person. Are you interested?"
My old firm did this once, it was greatly appreciated, but not inexpensive, so I can understand why it wasn't a regular perk. But it was great when it happened.
But cryzko, be honest: those late-night "studio massages" weren't *just* about limiting carpal tunnel stress...
but i did have a full drawer of candy ...about 20 pounds worth at least...would last the entire semester... i would trade off for beverages... and gave some out here and there...haha......
people visit you more when you are known for having candy and being a pimp model builder.....haha
When I worked in NY for a bit there came a massage therapist once or twice into the office, just made me feel uncomfortable no matter how hard he tried...that he set up shop in the model workshop didn't really help either.

Repurposing the table saw with a mat and face pillow sounds very relaxing to me!

He received a standing ovation.
I doubt it will happen. There is always hope.

it's all about the Kung-fu grip
sometimes I massage myself in the bathroom at the office
i saw that one coming. Oops no pun intended.
I heard rumours that Lundberg design had professionals to come in assist staff in ergonomics - a small but necessary step mind you.
When the boss offers to do it himself as a "cost cutting" measure... run! Or call Gloria Allred.
These sort of perks are cheaper than paying more or bringing on additional staff so that people don't have to work 60+ hours a week.
It is part of the never ending work day culture that silicon valley made fashionable a few years ago.
