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!

“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!

5 Healthy New Year’s Resolutions
Still, seeking some resolutions that resonate with you? It’s not too late to choose one and start to make a change in your life! If you are looking for a way to improve
your health, maybe one of these resolutions will be the one for you! Chair massage is one option.
- Exercise more. The dreaded, age-old resolution. To make your workout plan a success, keep it specific and realistic; don’t aim to go from being a couch potato to working out for 3 hours every day. Choose something you know you can achieve and run with it. Remember, slow and steady wins the race.
- Eat healthier. Again, to succeed with this resolution, you’re going to have to get specific. If you hate counting calories, set vegetable or nutrient requirements as well as limits on sweets. Allow yourself to indulge once per week. It’ll give you something to look forward to and will keep you positive about your diet plan.
- Spend more time with loved ones. While sometimes the people you love can stress you out, being around them improves your overall well-being. Schedule times to hang out with specific people. They’ll appreciate the gesture and you won’t put off the quality time.
- Limit distractions at work. In an age where we have the world at our fingertips, it’s easy to let things distract us from what’s at hand. Resolve to put your phone on DO NOT DISTURB mode at work. Limit time spent on social media. The improved focus will lead you to greater productivity and thus more free time to spend doing what you want to do.
- Get a consistent, healthy amount of sleep. Adults are recommended to get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep each night to bring their best selves each day. Commit to getting to bed and waking up on time every day to ensure that you rest enough!
Corporate Massage Kneads would love to help you and your office with mobile chair massages AND late New Year’s resolutions!

Five tips + chair massage eases sore muscles!
Photo by Cyril Saulnier
Old man winter is upon us and maybe it’s time to talk about muscle care, especially in the winter! When we think about our muscles, we often think that “care” means lifting weights, working out, and “bulking up.” However, it’s important to treat your muscles properly and to make sure that they are capable of the exercise and movement you do on a daily basis. There are a few ways that you can ensure that your muscles stay healthy (with chair massage) and active so that you can continue on your journey toward better health.
First, it’s important that you rest. Sometimes we can get caught up in working out as many days as possible for as long as possible. However, it is pertinent that you take a day of rest and give your body the relaxing time it needs and craves. Believe it or not, the road to strength and health is NOT through putting your body through the wringer at the gym on a daily basis. Make sure that you don’t just focus on one part of the body every day. If you want awesome abs, then do ab exercises every other day. Make sure that you don’t overwork a particular muscle group or your body in general- it needs rest for proper muscle development.
Secondly, always stretch. Stretching before and after your workouts is essential to gaining flexibility and relaxing your hard-worked muscles. Both static stretching (holding a position for about 12 seconds) and dynamic stretching (moving a muscle around) are great ways to get your muscles warmed up before exercising and cooled down after a nice sweat.
Thirdly, get a massage for pain relief. While this has often been seen as a “perk,” it should definitely be added to your essential fitness plan to optimize your results and give you wonderful muscle recovery. Massage removes toxins and harmful waste from your body so that you can have healthier muscles that have great mobility and more flexibility. Corporate Massage Kneads would love to help you out in this regard- bring us to your gym or your office, and we can massage your strained muscles right after your workout or in your office to get your muscles ready for your next exercise!
A fourth recommendation is breathing. This is more of an obligation than a recommendation. Not only is it essential to breathe (as this action is highly advised for survival), but it is also critical that you breathe CORRECTLY. When working out, make sure that you breathe properly and don’t hold your breath. Not exhaling can increase your blood pressure and put your body at risk of straining a blood vessel.
Finally, stay hydrated. Drink lots and lots of water before, during, and after a workout. Water regulates your metabolism and flushes the toxins in your body. Most recommend that the average person drink about 8 glasses of water a day, and you can ensure that you’re staying hydrated by checking the color of your urine. The darker it is, the more dehydrated you are and the more water you need.
This testimonial speaks to the magic mobile chair massage has to offer!
