Benefits of Corporate Chair Massage
Corporate chair massage is an easy and effective wellness program for many small and large companies alike. There are numerous benefits, and many of our clients comment that it lowered their stress and increased their productivity
following their chair massage event.
Corporate chair massage can help to:
- Alleviate pain. Tough knots and unnecessary muscular tension place unwanted pressure on your body and cause pain. Massage helps to loosen these knots to give you more comfort in everyday life.
- Improve posture. Oftentimes, muscles contort in ways that are not healthy for your body and can throw off your posture. By relaxing muscles and easing them into their rightful places, massage can help to fix your slump!
- Sleep more soundly. Corporate chair massage positively affects brain wave activity that helps you sleep better!
- Boost your immunity. Corporate chair massage can improve your white blood cell count, which can improve your body’s ability to fight off infection.
- Fight off headaches. Many headaches and migraines are caused by unwanted pressure in areas of your head, neck, and back. By relaxing these muscles, massage can help to curb your headaches!
- Improve overall body function. Massage helps to improve lymphatic and blood circulation. Because blood carries nutrients all around your body, this helps make your skin—and all of you—healthier overall!
- Increase joint flexibility. Want to move more easily? Massage can reduce stiffness and improve range of motion.
- Combat arthritis. Arthritis patients who get massages regularly experience less physical difficulties than those who do not.

Sugar & the natural high of chair massage!
Photo by Leon Ephraim
When it comes to having the energy to get you through the day, you may think of energy drinks or other substances that are loaded with sugar to give you an energy boost. While sugar does give you that extra little boost of hyper energy, it is not actually very beneficial. After that initial sugar high, many people experience something known as a sugar crash, which feels like all your energy goes right down the drain, making you tired and disinterested in what you were previously doing. It’s important to implement healthier habits throughout the day to give you energy, including being mindful of your sugar intake.
Ketchup + Other Sauces
One of America’s favorite sauces to use is Ketchup. This is a staple item in the food industry. Whether you’re out to eat or you’re cooking burgers and hot dogs on the grill for a barbecue night, ketchup is almost always involved. Something you may not realize when you dip your fries into that tomato-y goodness is that, on average, one tablespoon contains 4g of sugar. That sugar isn’t just hiding in ketchup either, but in a lot of other common condiments that we don’t normally think of as “sweet”. A serving of barbecue sauce for example can contain around 8.5g of sugar. The American Heart Association recommends consuming no more than 25g of sugar per day, so those condiments are already cutting into a huge chunk of your daily sugar intake, and you’re not even onto dessert yet!
Processed Fruit
When it comes to a nice bowl of oatmeal in the morning, you may be tempted to add cherries or pears from a jar, which contain that sweet syrupy sauce. Many of us may be led to think that the liquid in canned/jarred fruit is natural sugar from the fruit itself, when in reality, the sugar and syrup are added to improve the taste. It is still possible to get amazing-tasting foods with fruits, if you opt for fresh or frozen fruit over canned. By using a medley of fresh fruits in your bowl of oatmeal, not only will they taste fresher, but the sugar content will be significantly lower. Make sure you are still mindful of portions, though; too much of any sugar is not the best for your health.
Alternative Energy Boosts
When it comes down to it, you are not going to give up sugar completely. Sugar is in just about everything we consume throughout the day. It is, however, still important to watch what you eat and make sure you don’t go too overboard in one day. So enjoy that slice of cake, but maybe skip the ice cream on the side. The small choices you make will help your body look and feel better in the long run.

Four Ways Mobile Chair Massages Benefit Employers
Of course chair massages feel good! But do they have any other benefits beyond that momentary sensory happiness? What place could they possibly have in the workplace? According to a recent Forbes article, massage has a very productive place in every office! Chair massage isn’t just a way to spoil yourself and your employees; it’s an essential method of rejuvenation to keep your business running its best at all times. Corporate Massage Kneads is the premier mobile chair massage company in Maryland, Washington, DC, and Virginia!
How can mobile chair massage benefit the employer?
- Increase your productivity. According to research logged in the US National Library of Medicine, massage improves brainpower. Compared to people who received no massage, those who did receive massage exhibited increased speed and accuracy in performing computations and other basic brain functions. Their brains were more alert and less stressed in both the short and long term.
- Get your creative juices flowing. According to the experiences shared with Corporate Massage Kneads at our regular client sites, many clients experience sudden bursts of creativity after receiving massages. We believes this is because massage helps people to relax and see situations more clearly. When you can better assess a situation, you can find better solutions to problems. Massage can help you to see the bigger picture so that you can better strategize for your business and better perform smaller tasks to keep the business heading in the right direction.
- Help you sleep and fight disease. According to the American Massage Therapy Association, “Massage therapy increases the activity level of the body’s white blood cells that work to combat viruses.” Sickness often either keeps employees from working or keeps them from performing their best. With better-functioning white blood cells, workers are more likely to be performing at the top of their game. Mobile chair massage also promotes deep sleep, which helps to restore the body and repair daily wear.
- Reduce pain and stress. Massage helps to loosen up muscles that may have become tight due to everyday stressors. Desk jobs can be very hard to do well when one feels a lot of tension in their neck or back, so a neck or back massage allows them to focus more on their work and less on the pain.

Chair Massage Decreases Stress and Improves Sleep
Photo by Sylvie Tittel
The typical employee works 40+ hours a week so a great night of sleep is often required for daily tasks! Chair massage not only increases productivity and eases stress, it also can enhance the quality of your sleep.
When you go to bed, do you typically get a good night’s sleep? Do you feel relaxed and rested in the morning, or do you move throughout the day feeling exhausted and stressed? Sleep is essential to your health, and without a consistent sleep schedule, you are more likely to suffer from the consequences of sleep deprivation.
Inadequate amounts of sleep are correlated with the onset of a number of chronic diseases and conditions, like diabetes, obesity, depression, and cardiovascular disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control, insufficient amounts of sleep are associated with the start of these diseases as well as affecting their duration and level of intensity.
Sleep is essential to good health, productivity, and maintaining healthy personal relationships. Healthcare professionals typically agree that the regular adult should sleep an average of seven to nine hours every night. For your immune system to operate at its maximum level, your body needs to receive an adequate amount of rest so that it can heal itself, especially if the immune system is compromised. Not only can sleep affect your health, but insufficient sleep can also be detrimental to your interpersonal relationships. If you are not well rested, you are more likely to be reactive, negative, upset, and under-productive. According to the National Sleep Foundation, short sleep duration is associated with a higher body mass index, higher risk of diabetes and heart problems, increased likelihood of motor vehicle accidents, heightened risk of depression and substance abuse, and decreased ability to pay attention.
When you are stressed, an automatic system in your body called the sympathetic nervous system is activated and triggers a sensation called “fight or flight.” During a chair massage, the other automatic system called the parasympathetic system is activated, which consequently causes your body to relax. Often, sleeplessness is caused by high levels of stress. A mobile chair massage can alleviate the stress that so many hold onto. Many people become so relaxed that they take a light snooze while they have their professional onsite chair massage.
Receiving a mobile chair massage can improve your sleep pattern on a daily basis, and it could even help you catch some Zzzs during the massage therapy session itself. Massage is a relaxing experience that can ease tension that is often the main cause of many sleepless nights while also increasing productivity and mental awareness! A win-win for the typical office worker!

Healthy tips + Office Chair Massage
World events over the last 5 years have changed the way we work, exercise, and probably eat. For some of us, stretchy workout pants have taken the place of traditional work attire, and you might be thinking it’s time to reign in the working-from-home snacking! But without setting ourselves up for success by cultivating lasting healthy habits, these thoughts could lead to crash dieting or a strained relationship with diet and exercise.
The first step in avoiding crash diets and supporting a healthy lifestyle is through food. Cutting your calories in half and eating nothing but apples and celery is not a viable option that will be good for you in the long run. Instead, it is important to create a lifestyle of eating clean. One way to do this is to eat for performance instead of pleasure. Your body is a machine, capable of so much as long as it is cared for properly. To exercise and perform other daily activities, you need to have strength through nutrition. When you eat poorly, you can feel lethargic and less capable of tackling your exercise routine, or even your daily tasks. Another tip for creating a healthy eating style is planning. Do your research, find out what healthy foods you enjoy, and know what you need to eat every day. Planning helps you to avoid the occasional “slips” in your healthy lifestyle and can be a great foundation for you as you attempt to eat healthier. Also, keeping yourself accountable is a huge way to keep on track. Record the food that you eat and calculate the nutritional information of your meals; knowing that you have to record your daily meals helps you not to over-indulge in sweets and other unhealthy foods on a whim.
Another integral part of starting (and maintaining) a healthy lifestyle is through exercise. While most people are not thrilled at the idea of a treadmill or weight machines, there are a wide variety of different ways to be active throughout the day. Here are some tips to keep you motivated on your journey to fitness: First, you can turn your commute into a workout. Instead of driving, why not try biking or walking? If you live too far from your office, or you work from home, try setting your alarm earlier to get a work out in before work. Working out before work can give you more energy before a busy day, give you endorphins for a better mood, and leave you less stressed about the idea of going to the gym after a long day at work. Also, you can invest in more (and better) workout clothes. Commit to exercise by dressing in the right gear and feeling comfortable at the gym. Sure, you get the same workout when exercising in boxer shorts and an oversized t-shirt as compared to Nike, but you can re-enforce yourself as an exerciser by investing in yourself and getting excited to look good as you work out to feel good. Another great way to stay motivated about exercising is by recording your workouts online or in a journal. Logging your workouts is a great way to see your progress over time, which is motivation in itself, and if you record them online, it provides you with a support system to encourage you and keep you going even on the tough days.
Overall, losing weight and being healthy is all about balance and consistency. Don’t focus completely on exercise, but also don’t only leave your health to diet choices. Sustainable healthy eating and living are crucial to achieving and maintaining a well-working body that deserves to be treated with care so that it can perform well for you daily.
