Massage Chairs

The Wellness Center is excited to announce that we are now offering full-body electronic chair massage appointments at no charge to UW students! We have two massage chairs located in the Wellness Center's Re-charge Room. We also have electric foot massagers, available on a first come, first serve basis in the Wellness Center Zen Den.

Re-Charge Room

The Re-Charge Room is a quiet, relaxing place within the Wellness Center with two full-body electronic massage chairs (Human Touch® Novo XT2). Use of the Re-Charge Room can be helpful to lower stress levels, relieve tension, improve circulation, and release endorphins.
