Wellness Lounge

College is a time of new beginnings, academic achievement, and an active social life. Unfortunately, high stress can follow you along the way and is an inevitable part of the experience. Take advantage of the many resources on campus to indulge in self-care, connect with others, and increase your quality of mental health and overall wellness.

Massage Chair 

Take a moment to rest and recharge during your day. Enjoy a relaxing massage in the Wellness Lounge. Massage chairs are available to all SJSU students on a first come, first served basis for up to 30 minutes per session. 

Help us maintain a relaxing and respectful environment by following these guidelines:

  • Use the massage chair at your own risk. If you have a medical condition or are feeling unwell, consult your healthcare provider before using the chair.
  • Select from the pre-set massage programs only. Limit use to no more than 30 minutes. 
  • Take off your shoes before sitting in the chair. Wear socks or foot covers at all times.
  • Secure or remove loose items—like jewelry, earbuds, or drawstrings—to prevent them from falling into or getting caught in the chair.
  • No eating or drinking while using the chair.
  • Press the on/off button on the controller at any time to stop your massage
  • Wait for the chair to return to the starting position before getting up
  • Wipe down the chair after each use
  • Report any issues or concerns to the Wellness Lounge front desk.
