From the Charlotte Convention Center to Uptown financial district offices and conference hotels across the metro, Massage by Design delivers professional onsite chair massage throughout Greater Charlotte. Licensed North Carolina therapists. Fully managed. The vendor that arrives ready and asks nothing of your team on event day.
Charlotte is the second-largest banking center in the United States. Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Truist all operate significant corporate presences in Uptown, which means HR teams, workplace experience managers, and event coordinators here are accustomed to a high standard of vendor performance. The Charlotte Convention Center and the Park Expo handle a steady flow of regional and national trade shows and conferences. Atrium Health and Novant Health anchor one of the Southeast's most active healthcare employment markets. Duke Energy and Piedmont Natural Gas bring a concentrated energy sector workforce to the metro's office corridors.
We have been serving Charlotte HR directors, office managers, and trade show exhibitors for years. Our therapists are licensed in North Carolina, experienced in both convention hall environments and financial district office settings, and they arrive fully equipped and on time. Healthcare clients like Tryon Medical Partners and companies like GoodVets have brought us in for employee recognition events and corporate wellness programs across the metro. Your team manages none of it on the day of the event.
Whether you need a single therapist for an employee appreciation afternoon in South End or a multi-chair wellness setup at the Charlotte Convention Center, we have the right configuration for your event and budget.

The Charlotte Convention Center is the anchor venue for the metro's largest trade shows and industry events. A professional chair massage station at your booth draws a visible line of attendees, creates natural conversations with your team, and signals to the floor that your space is worth visiting. Our therapists are familiar with convention center booth setups, load-in procedures, and the logistics of working a busy show environment. Learn about events at the Charlotte Convention Center.
Learn MoreCharlotte's conference hotels serve a steady calendar of regional and national events. We staff single-therapist setups for breakout sessions and full wellness lounge buildouts at the Westin Charlotte, Marriott Charlotte City Center, and the Park Expo and Conference Center. Attendees at multi-day conferences get a genuine physical benefit during the event rather than a passive break, and they come back to the room more focused. One coordinator handles scheduling and all day-of logistics across every session of your event.
Learn MoreOnsite chair massage gives your Charlotte team a concrete, physical benefit that generic recognition programs cannot match. We come to your office, bring all equipment, and leave your employees genuinely better off than before. Available as a single event or a recurring weekly or monthly program for companies in Uptown, South End, Ballantyne, University City, and across the metro.
Learn MoreChair massage is the most visited station at corporate health and benefit fairs by a significant margin. It gives employees an immediate, physical experience of wellness that handouts and vendor tables cannot produce. We integrate cleanly into your fair layout without requiring special setup from your team or conflicting with other vendors on the floor.
Learn MoreNurses Week, Teacher Appreciation Week, Administrative Professionals Day. Charlotte's healthcare systems, school districts, and financial institutions employ tens of thousands of people whose hard work often goes unrecognized at scale. We bring professional chair massage directly to those teams, at their location, with nothing required from the people being thanked.

Ask UsBrooklyn was very clear and informative.
Wonderful to work with!
Massage by Design has been so very pleasant to work with. Booking, the level of service, and total experience has been consistent regardless of where in the country our events have been located.
Charlotte's corporate identity is built on financial services, healthcare, and a fast-growing technology sector. The city is home to the headquarters of Bank of America and the Eastern operations hub for Wells Fargo and Truist. Atrium Health and Novant Health together represent tens of thousands of healthcare employees across Mecklenburg County. LendingTree, Red Ventures, and AvidXchange have made Charlotte a recognized fintech market. Each of these industries has HR and event teams that regularly bring us in for employee appreciation events, health fairs, and corporate recognition programs.
Our therapists serve the full Charlotte metropolitan area and surrounding communities. Uptown's financial towers, the healthcare campuses along North Tryon, the tech offices in South End and University City, the suburban corporate parks in Ballantyne and Huntersville, and the cross-border employers in Rock Hill — if your event is within 100 miles of Uptown Charlotte, we have coverage for your location.
Charlotte's event buyers are used to vendors that require hand-holding. We are not one of them. Here is exactly what the process looks like from the moment you reach out to the moment your event ends.
Tell us your event date, venue, and how many hours you need. A coordinator follows up within one business day with therapist availability and confirmed pricing for your Charlotte event. No obligation at that stage.
Once you book, therapist assignment, scheduling, and any venue-specific logistics are coordinated entirely on our end. If you are at the Charlotte Convention Center, we understand the floor setup. If you are at the Westin Charlotte or in a Ballantyne corporate office, we know what those environments look like. You will not be managing logistics on event day.
Your therapist arrives on time, in professional attire, with everything needed. They set up independently, manage the queue, and break down at the end of the event. We have staffed employee appreciation and wellness events for GoodVets and Tryon Medical Partners, and for corporate offices and conference venues across the Charlotte metro. Nothing is added to your plate on the day of the event.
Recipients stay fully clothed in their work attire. There are no oils, no changing, and no disruption to the workday or event schedule. A session takes 10 to 15 minutes per person.
A standard setup requires 6.5 x 6.5 feet of floor space. We can also work in tighter areas including hallways, trade show booth back corners, and smaller meeting rooms across the Charlotte metro.
Most corporate chair massage sessions run 10 to 15 minutes. That is enough time for employees or conference attendees to feel a genuine physical benefit without taking a significant break from their day.
Our therapists arrive with a professional massage chair and all required supplies. There is nothing for your team to source, rent, or arrange. We handle everything from arrival through breakdown.
Every therapist we send to a Charlotte event is licensed by the State of North Carolina and carries their own liability insurance. That matters in a market where healthcare employers like Atrium Health and Novant Health, financial institutions, and university clients have compliance expectations around the vendors they bring on site. We have staffed employee appreciation and wellness events for GoodVets and Tryon Medical Partners across the metro, and we can provide documentation of licensure on request if your organization requires it.
Most corporate massage companies are operated by businesspeople. Massage by Design was built from the ground up by a licensed massage therapist. Founder Koko Klipper began her career behind the chair and has applied that firsthand knowledge to every decision about how we screen therapists, coordinate logistics, and serve clients across 40+ markets.
We serve 40+ cities at the same standard of service. If your company runs events in Charlotte, Dallas, and San Diego across the year, you work with one coordinator, one process, and one consistent level of delivery. No re-establishing expectations in each market. Visit our full locations page to see every city we serve.
Chair massage is priced by the hour per therapist, with rates that vary by market. When we quote your Charlotte event, that is the number you pay. No surprise fees, no day-of additions, no ambiguity. Learn more about our services at massagebydesign.net.
Yes. We staff trade shows, conventions, and multi-day conferences at the Charlotte Convention Center and are familiar with the venue's floor configurations, exhibitor requirements, and setup logistics. Our therapists work within standard 6.5 x 6.5 to 8 x 8 foot booth footprints and can adapt to smaller spaces as needed. Learn more about our trade show chair massage services.
Chair massage is used across a wide range of corporate events in Charlotte. The most common buyers are HR directors, office managers, and event coordinators at financial services companies and healthcare systems, along with trade show exhibitors at the Charlotte Convention Center and the Park Expo. Typical events include trade shows and exhibitions at the Charlotte Convention Center and Park Expo, where chair massage draws booth traffic and creates natural engagement with attendees; employee appreciation events at financial district offices in Uptown, South End, and Ballantyne; health and benefit fairs for large employers in banking, healthcare, and energy; multi-day conference wellness lounges at the Westin Charlotte and Marriott Charlotte City Center; and special recognition events including Nurses Week for healthcare systems and Administrative Professionals Day for financial and legal offices. Many Charlotte companies also maintain recurring monthly chair massage programs as a standard employee benefit.
Yes. Every therapist we send to a Charlotte event is licensed by the State of North Carolina and carries their own liability insurance. For organizations with vendor compliance requirements, including healthcare systems and financial institutions, we can provide documentation of licensure on request.
For trade shows at the Charlotte Convention Center and multi-day conferences at the Westin Charlotte or Marriott Charlotte City Center, booking four to six weeks in advance gives you the best access to therapist availability. For employee appreciation days and health fairs at Uptown, Ballantyne, and South End offices, two to three weeks is typically sufficient. Contact us and we will confirm availability for your specific dates within one business day.
Yes, and the effect is immediate and direct. Most desk-based workers in Charlotte's financial and technology offices accumulate chronic tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. A 10 to 15 minute chair massage addresses those areas specifically while the recipient remains fully clothed at the event. There are no oils, no disruption, and no lost time. Employees return to their desks or continue through the event having received an actual physical benefit, not a pamphlet about it. Many Charlotte employers find that a single onsite chair massage event generates more visible morale improvement than an entire quarter's worth of broader wellness programming.
Yes. A professional chair massage station at your Charlotte Convention Center booth does several things simultaneously. It draws a visible line of attendees, which is a signal to the rest of the floor that your space is active and worth stopping at. It keeps attendees on-site longer, during which your team has a receptive, unhurried audience. And it creates a positive association between your company and a concrete benefit at the end of a long show day. A standard setup requires 6.5 x 6.5 feet, which fits within most booth footprints. Our therapists are familiar with the Charlotte Convention Center's setup and exhibitor protocols. See how trade show chair massage works.
The general rule is one therapist per 15 to 20 people per hour, based on 10 to 15 minute sessions. For a two-hour employee appreciation event with 40 attendees, two therapists is a reasonable starting point. For a full-day conference with 200 attendees cycling through, you may want a three- to four-person team and a structured schedule. When you contact us, describe your headcount, event duration, and whether sessions are optional or structured. We will recommend the right staffing level for your setup.
Yes. We serve the full Charlotte metropolitan area including Uptown Charlotte, South End, Ballantyne, University City, Huntersville, Concord, Matthews, and Rock Hill. If your event is within 100 miles of Uptown Charlotte, we have therapist coverage for your location.
Yes. Employee appreciation chair massage is one of our most common bookings in Charlotte's financial district. Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Truist, and the fintech companies headquartered in Uptown and South End all employ HR teams that regularly plan recognition events. Onsite chair massage fits naturally into employee appreciation day programming because it requires no disruption to the office environment, no preparation from employees, and produces a visible, tangible benefit that people talk about afterward.
