Fresh ideas for a healthy office with mobile massage!
The start of the spring often shows us the change in season, spring flowers, and perhaps the pending tax season! When writing a recent blog, we discussed how it is important to incorporate aspects into your office that
everyone could benefit from whether a tax prep business or an individual preparing his documents for this year. Wellness programs with mobile massage are always welcomed!
These are all very important things to consider when trying to keep your employees healthy and engaged!
Open those windows!
While it’s been relatively “trendy” to have well-lit areas with brighter-styled lights, many open-space offices are going slightly old-fashioned. By exposing the office to more natural light, there has been a link to more productivity. This is caused by Vitamin D that the natural light is giving off. Taller windows, higher ceilings, and more open hallways can help bring that warm light into the room. Your office or business can help all feel more productive, happier, and glow more than usual.
Security: Full Lock Down
For those working long hours preparing taxes, security can be a concern at times with an early morning meeting or late night departure. With brand-new state-of-the-art security technology out there, there is no reason not to switch to a high-end plan. High-end plans specialize in what they do and can provide top-of-the-line automatic door locks that require special permission to enter the building. Most of them require a card key that will identify the user and allow them to enter, immediately locking afterward. While physical security is important, digital security is just as necessary. With many different malware and viruses circling the internet each day, you’ll want to keep a grasp on the most recent antivirus programs especially when working with sensitive material involved with tax preparation. Invest in a program for your office computers and make sure they are set to auto-update, receiving the latest virus definition packs.
A place to relax
Many offices seem to be introducing new areas to help give their employees some time to enjoy themselves. This can include break rooms, an entertainment lounge, or maybe even a fitness center. These places are easily accessible and make it very easy for people to go whenever they want. No more worrying about hitting the gym in the morning before you leave. Just leave earlier and take advantage of the in-office fitness center to get your daily exercise in! Exercise can improve your mental clarity while decreasing your stress levels during those long office hours.
Mobile chair massage at work
All of these options are being implemented all around the world in offices. Increased security, and workout facilities along with updated and fresh sitting areas are ideal to help keep productivity up and keep mental health up and in check. While these amenities will help out your business as a whole, it’s a good idea to put your employee’s stress at ease as well. The best way to keep your stress levels to a minimum while increasing productivity and lowering stress is to receive a mobile chair massage from Corporate Massage Kneads. During a fifteen or thirty-minute chair massage, our therapists will make sure you unlock your full potential!
A mobile chair massage at work may energize you. It did for this recent client.

Chair massage + tax season
Photo by rawpixel
It’s ALMOST February which means that corporations and many households are busy preparing their tax documents! Yes, February marks the start of the tax season as the 2022 documents have been sent with my eyes set on organizing my business and personal returns. I think that many feel the same way this year with taxes – best to get them completed and in early for less stress. Chair massage helps to destress workers in “the busy season!”
As many of you probably already know, Tax Day this year is Monday, April 15, 2024.
DEFINITION OF “TAX”
Here is an interesting fact about taxes! Do you know what the word “tax” actually means? It is a Latin term which has the meaning of “I estimate.”
Corporate Massage Kneads is fortunate to have repeat clients requesting chair massages for their accounting staff each year. I have received several requests already this month. Jobs have been confirmed with contracts pending. I know and can appreciate that many accountants are working really hard this year with long hours, It is confirmed by the requests which include Saturday hours (breakfast is provided for all) and later evening hours. A reminder that the days are LONG! during tax season.
LOGISTICS OF ON-SITE CHAIR MASSAGE
We adore working at accountant offices. These organizations typically run on time so they have very little worry or oversight with the management of massages. Accounting offices are typically easy to schedule for chair massage. Consequently, clients are quiet upon the completion of their massage with brighter eyes and a feeling of relaxation when they return to their desks!
BENEFITS OF ONSITE MOBILE CHAIR
Why settle for a donut or pre-ordered lunch when an onsite chair massage may be an option?
Mobile chair massage therapy benefits include:
- Decreased muscle tension & discomfort
- Increased energy
- Increased tissue elasticity & flexibility
- Increased range of motion
- Increased relaxation
- Increased blood circulation
WHAT ARE OUR CLIENTS SAYING?
I hope that each employee will welcome our services as this office worker did recently. You can see all the testimonials here!
Great for my busy schedule
“I am so busy outside of work hours, that I don’t have much time to go to a massage therapist. The 20-minute massage is great and she knows those main problem areas to hit for those of us who sit at a desk most of the day.”
If you do not already know the reasons for on-site chair massage, this work allows for relief of back and neck pain (associated with long hours at the desk.) It is also a stress relief and is known to increase productivity.
If on-site corporate chair massage sounds like a program that can be incorporated into your business during this busy tax season, I hope to hear from you. Please contact me, Janet Constantino, CEO of Corporate Massage Kneads, at 410-989-3577.

Tax season and chair massage | Corporate Massage Kneads
With tax season here and moving full speed ahead, your workload is increasing along with your daily task list. It is Thursday afternoon and management just finished their weekly meeting. They have decided to offer all employees a chair massage in Maryland to soften the hardship of extra hours and effort.
Thus, your boss emails you to find a corporate onsite massage company to book this wellness event for your company’s many locations and different schedules. One more task that requires your time and immediate attention!
How do you manage this task along with all the others? How do you start this process?
After completing a search online for a company to offer this fabulous chair massage program, here are some questions you may want to ask when interviewing chair massage companies:
- What is your hourly rate? Is there a minimum time required for each location or onsite massage therapist?
- What is your screening process for hiring onsite corporate massage therapists?
- Are your massage therapists licensed, insured, and experienced? If so, what is the average tenure of your therapist/s offering onsite corporate chair massage?
- Are tips required during the time of service? If so, what is the range?
- What locations can you service for my large company?
- What paperwork is involved to start this process?
- What paperwork is required for employees to sign before receiving their onsite chair massage?
- What is the cancellation policy if we decide not to proceed once the paperwork is signed?
After all this fact-finding, the answers should help in finding the perfect onsite chair massage that will explain the many benefits of receiving a mobile chair massage! We hope Corporate Massage Kneads will meet your many requirements.

Chair massage alleviates stress!
One of the most common sources of stress is the work environment. About 75% of Americans would describe their occupations as “stressful” for one reason or
another. The consequences of stress range from physical to psychological. This daily stress can greatly affect people in their daily lives. Chair massage wellness programs help to decrease stress!
THE COST OF STRESS
U.S. employers lose approximately $200 billion every year due to stress-related expenses. And though stress is a relatively inevitable factor in everyone’s life, its management could be particularly important to businesses for their employees’ productivity and efficiency.
THE EFFECTS OF STRESS
Physically, stress causes tension, especially in a person’s neck and back. The palpable tension, a result of stress, furthers anxiety levels and perpetuates the cycle. During exercise, stress is often released during the exertion. Onsite chair massage is also another technique to relax muscles and alleviate tension and physiological stress. Sometimes people don’t even realize the tension that stress causes each day. Stress also typically causes increased heart rate and blood pressure, consequently causing psychological stress. Though stress is a necessary bodily reaction that is critical to survival, it should be managed so that one’s work and life don’t suffer.
BENEFITS OF CHAIR MASSAGE
Chair massage has been known to reduce physical and psychological stress through past studies. While most have experienced the relaxing results for themselves, there is also a plethora of research to further support this finding. In contrast, mobile chair massage alleviates anxiety because it lowers heart rate and blood pressure, thereby giving a person a sense of calm and ease.
While many workers turn to antianxiety drugs and invasive methods to relieve stress, massage is an alternate form of therapy that is highly supported by the medical community. It is a natural technique that causes the release of endorphins and soothes the peripheral nervous system.
There are many avenues for stress treatment, but mobile chair massage is an immediate relief that leaves customers visibly more relaxed and peaceful. People can seek massage therapy on their own time, but employers can also demonstrate their appreciation to their workers by bringing massage into the workplace.
DETAILS ABOUT MOBILE CHAIR MASSAGE AT THE OFFICE
Mobile chair massage, a 10 to 15-minute experience, focuses on a person’s back, shoulders, neck, and arms. It does not involve oils or any other elaborate materials. It could be a short break during a tough workday, a massage during lunch in the office, or a relaxing experience in an anxiety-filled environment. While some companies could pay the cost and offer chair massage as a “thank you” to their employees, others might offer the relaxing opportunity for their employees to pay for if they so desire.
Stress unmanaged can have extremely harmful effects. A short chair massage could make a significant difference in one’s overall well-being and work content.
A way to say “thank you” or an office opportunity that employees would regret missing. Bringing Corporate Massage Kneads into the office is a decision that any company or corporation would regret not making.
This review was just sent to Corporate Massage Kneads. Another pleased employee who experienced pain relief from mobile chair massage!

A New Year of wellness & mobile chair massage!
We are in the middle of January. Time flies! It’s a perfect time to look back on 2023 and think about all the good and bad things that have happened. If you have not enabled a corporate wellness program already, Corporate Massage Kneads is happy to partner with your company. A healthy New Year can include a mobile chair massage event!
As we all know, a large portion of people begin to plan this thing called a “New Year’s Resolution” towards the end of the year. Goal setting, whether large or small, is a tangible outcome for the New year. I always ponder about these resolutions and wonder if people complete them or not.
The most common item that many try to achieve in the following year is “lose weight.” I know this in itself can be a hard journey but the motivation for a fresh start always seems to increase the interest level and commitment. Meal plans, workout schedules, and hefty exercise plans are typically included in this goal. Don’t fear, there are people out there who achieve these yearly resolutions and you can be one of them!
Start small!
One of the biggest mistakes people make is creating overly ambitious rules and regulations for their weight loss regimen. If you normally don’t care what you eat, it’s going to be very hard for you to cut out groups of food entirely. Let’s say that on a normal daily basis, you eat steak, potatoes, and green beans. You can’t tell yourself that you will only have salads for dinner from now on. It makes it much harder on yourself and makes your new diet become a chore. Instead of switching the meal entirely, my advice is to replace parts of the meal. This is one easy small example that can bring big results! Why not replace that side of potatoes with a side salad? With new habits and the benefit of time, your efforts will pay off. Changing habits must be gradual and cannot be a sudden change in your lifestyle.
Gradual Increases!
As you begin to slowly move into a more strict, healthy lifestyle, gradual changes will help when incorporating more exercise. If you start with a five-minute workout each morning, for the next week, add one minute per day and see how you are with ten-minute workouts. If you feel this is a place for you, you can stop, but if you want to challenge yourself, you can keep going! Everyone has different levels that they are comfortable with and it’s okay to start small and work yourself up. Just like meal prep, it’s important to move up in the way you exercise as well.
Keep in mind that New Year’s Resolutions are here for your benefit and you should not be worried about other people. It’s here to help and be a motivation in the right step to a better you. So start slow and make sure you’re comfortable with where you’re at. Then you can slowly move on to bigger and more challenging obstacles to overcome. By going at your own pace, you will be much more relieved and stress-free and you will be making progress at your own pace.
Wellness at work
Mobile chair massage at work can also bring results during the workday and throughout the workweek. The benefits of massage are many including decreased stress AND increased productivity which is often desired when starting back after the holidays and heading into a New Year! Corporate Massage Kneads can assist with corporate wellness programs by offering chair massage, yoga at work, and even nutrition seminars. With experienced massage therapists, your stress will seamlessly go away right in YOUR office!
So pleased to receive this update from a corporate client of seven years.
“Just wanted to let you know we appreciate you and the consistent professionalism you bring. Thanks for all you do!!” Corporate client, 7 years

Eight Easy Wellness Fixes For New Year!
Want to promote a healthy lifestyle in your office for 2024 but don’t know where to start? Healthy eating habits, mobile chair massage, yoga, and stretching all help with wellness!
It’s time to draw those valuable employees back into the office!
Try some of these to gain some headway on your wellness goal:
- Trade in the chips for apples. Snacking is the downfall of so many people in their quest for a healthy lifestyle. While greasy snacks may be cheaper and a little tastier, natural ones provide many more nutrients without the excess calories.
- Hold a health fair. In many cases, employees just need a little push in the right direction to be inspired to achieve wellness. When surrounded by good choices at a health fair, your employees are bound to find healthy habits that they enjoy.
- Hold a monthly potluck. Each person can bring their favorite healthy dish or try out a new one in the office. Instead of going out for lunch, eat a healthy homemade one!
- Create a monthly fitness challenge. Whether it’s who can do the most pushups or who can run the furthest, that’s up to you. The important thing is to get everyone excited about exercising!
- Make a themed attire day each week. It can be as simple as a casual Friday or as complicated as a Harry Potter day, but even adults enjoy playing a little dress-up sometimes. Lightening the mood of your office can help de-stress your employees and help them enjoy coming to work.
- Hold a clothing drive. Helping others helps us. Let your employees reap the rewards of giving back.
- Recognize outstanding employees. Provide an incentive like a gift card or meal out for great workers. Your employees will strive for greatness!
- Participate in a 5K run together. You’ll build endurance and camaraderie as you set off to get a little exercise together. Plus, most races support charities, so you’ll be running for a great cause!
