Spring into wellness! Four tips
Photo by Brooke Lark
It’s almost the middle of April and spring is finally here! Choose wellness as a goal while the weather is ideal! It’s a great time to implement new wellness habits moving towards summer! It’s always a good time to get back into the routine following winter and the holidays! With this new season, now is the time to enjoy the outdoors and get more exercise. Here are a few ideas to help you stay on track with your weight management as we move towards summer!
tFour Weight Loss Tips
Water!
Remind yourself about staying hydrated throughout the day with water. As a pro tip, water should be measured using half of your body weight, and then converted to ounces. Water is imperative for your body, but it also helps you keep your skin nice and refreshed which helps demolish acne and red patches.
Exercise!
We understand that most people are busy throughout the day and exercise is one more item to complete during the day. Exercise is important if you plan on maintaining a healthy weight. The estimated average for maintaining weight is 15 minutes with a light walk or job daily. This is a small sliver of time that you can spare to give to help keep your goals in check. I find that parking far away in crowded parking lots often helps me to avoid others AND increases my steps for the day. I also typically take steps when walking in large public places. Each little step adds up throughout the day!
Food!
Focusing on food consumed during the holidays also helps. Do you think that sugar may boost your mood? Why not try a hot tea to get you through the mid-afternoon slump? The general rule is to stick to the lean foods that are available. This would include lean meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and anything else that can help stimulate your metabolism and keep the weight loss in effect. Remember to keep away from processed items and gravitate to items that are fresh and healthy for you.
Stress! Stress is often associated with weight gain. It is typically a good idea to eliminate as much stress as possible when attempting to lose weight. The easiest way to bring stress relief is to Stretching can bring welcomed stress relief to those aching muscles. By finding the spots on your body that are giving you the most trouble, you will experience more movement throughout the day. The experienced and trained chair massage therapists at Corporate Massage Kneads can quickly find the problem areas and release the tension.

National Nurses Week with chair massage!
Where in the world would we be without nurses? I remember the days of the pandemic when we all watched or sadly witnessed the brave actions and service of these selfless heroes. Requests for chair massage events are steady and growing p
ost-COVID. Nurses are the first layer of the medical team whether in a doctor’s office or hospital. These compassionate healthcare providers are there with empathy and compassion when we visit the local doctor, hospital, or emergency room. Women and men in this profession have chosen to care for others through the cycle of life: birth, illness, surgeries, and even in the final hours of one’s life in hospice. Nurse Appreciation Week this year is May 6 – 12, 2024. Chair massage is an excellent wellness program to express your gratitude and appreciation to the dedicated nurses in your practice.
Their consistent calm manner, capable ability, and encouragement make them invaluable to any medical facility- large or small, especially when caring for critically sick or dying patients with the COVID-19 virus.
Here are some interesting facts about National Nurses Week. It begins each year on May 6th and ends on May 12th– Florence Nightingale’s birthday. These permanent dates enhance the importance of this special and valued health provider. Since 1896, the nursing profession has been supported and promoted by the American Nurses Association (ANA.)
Here are some interesting facts about the nursing profession:
- Nurses represent the largest sector of all health professions, with more than 3 million registered nurses (RNs) in the United States.
- For 11 straight years, nurses have ranked #1 as the most trusted profession.
- The United States has nearly 400,000 primary care providers. Physicians account for over 275,000 of these providers, nurse practitioners for over 80,000, and physician assistants for approximately 20,000. There are currently almost 154,000 nurse practitioners (NPs) practicing in the United States.
In any case, nurses in all capacities deserve appreciation and a huge “thank you” during the week of May 6th to May 12th. Scheduling a wellness program, where local massage therapists come onsite to care for your trusted nurses, is a great way to show appreciation to this deserving group of employees. This wellness program would demonstrate how grateful you are for their hard and dedicated work day in and day out, year to year. Nurses are rarely recognized, but without them, many medical institutions would not run smoothly and would suffer dramatically.
Show your nurses the appreciation that they deserve!
Contact Corporate Massage Kneads to schedule a mobile chair massage therapy when the time is right for all to honor these deserving and hard-working employees who need some appreciation!

March Madness + Chair massage

It is the end of March and March Madness is upon us! Want to keep your employees focused, in the office, and productive? Chair massage events in the office KEEP employees in the office.
Whether you’re a hardcore basketball fan or not, you may be influenced by this event. Many people will begin to create these brackets and spend copious amounts of time perfecting them. In the end, they want the perfect bracket that will bring them to victory.
With all of the crazy basketball highs and lows during March Madness, one concern employers are noticing is the lack of work being done. March Madness is on the same list of productivity which typically shows a reduction in hours worked compared to the recent Olympics or the Super Bowl. Employees are sometimes inclined to keep up with recent news about their team picks during the workday. Not only are you losing productivity for the workplace as a whole, but you’re also allowing yourself to get behind on your work later on.
It may seem like you know your limits and you’ll make sure you keep it out of the workplace but chances are you’ll end up doing the same thing as the others while discussing brackets and sneaking updates online during work hours.
During or following March Madness, many will be left to pick up the pieces of your work and most likely bring themselves into overdrive attempting to get back into the swing of things. This can cause a feeling of being overwhelmed with looming projects and a long “to-do” list. It is a challenge to bring productivity levels back to where they were. Be sure to ask employees to leave the sports viewing at home and only engage with viewing when their work is complete.
Regardless of what may be going on in the workplace, stress is a common cause of productivity levels dropping. Ideally, stress is kept to a minimum to ensure you are being the best you can be and getting as much as you can done. If you’re having stress issues, feel free to request a free quote from Massage Kneads today! Our seasoned and trained onsite chair massage therapists are always willing to help get you back to being you.
