Why Is Chair Massage Beneficial?

 

Chair Massage in Maryland with Corporate Massage Kneads!

Here are the many benefits of onsite chair massage!

Increased morale and productivity.
When Fortune magazine featured the best 100 companies to work for in America, they emphasized corporate perks like massage. These benefits were shown to empower workers and positively affect the success of the business. The Gallup poll summarized that “employee attitudes correlate strongly with higher profits.”

Relief of stress and fatigue.
On-site massage is an energizing massage, but it also relaxes the muscles and soothes the spirit. Workers surveyed by Time Magazine preferred massage over coffee breaks!

Massage opens the mind and increases alertness.
Massage clears thinking and releases the individual’s innate creativity. “A fifteen-minute massage increases alertness and performance,” reports Dr. Tiffany Fields in Life.

Massage increases brain power and sharpens the senses.
The Miami Research Institute of Florida reported that office workers who were massaged completed a math test more quickly and with fewer errors!

2024 reasons for gratitude with chair massage!

chair massageWith the end of 2024, I find myself enjoying sunny skies with a full heart remembering a year of learning while giving and receiving chair massage in Maryland.

Corporate Massage Kneads is YOUR premier on-site chair massage company! We continue to learn about clients large and small through both standard and unusual requests for massage.  One client requested that we offer massages to employees while working at their desks instead of a set location within the office. Was it well received? Yes, by most counts!

These corporate chair massage clients and home-based massage table client requests keep me active and interested in exceeding expectations throughout the year for every client interaction.  As you probably already know, chair massage differs from table massage as time is limited, pressure has to be exact to the client’s preference (light, medium, or firm), and the environment is serene without too much chatter and talk.

2024 was a banner year for Corporate Massage Kneads following the depressing years of COVID.  We are thrilled beyond belief that my company continues to get requests from companies to offer chair massages in Maryland. I have been locally and nationally certified for almost 24 years! I am full of hope and promise for years to continue to offer massage in this amazing profession.

Here are some lessons and reminders learned from 2024:

  • Corporate Massage Kneads has survived and thrived following COVID-19 in 2020!
  • Corporate chair massage requests are more mainstream now compared to the year we started offering chair massage in 2001!
  • Clients always know what they “knead” and want during a chair massage. All we ever need to do as therapists is ask “What hurts and why?”
  • We continue to enjoy your chosen profession despite a lull in interest in local massage schools
  • Chair massage therapists typically prefer and enjoy this bodywork due to the variety of locations and direct contact with various employees within local large and small corporations
  • Local therapists who work with Corporate Massage Kneads are always keen to go the extra mile for our clients and for that, I am most grateful
  • With so many areas of interest in the massage field, we as therapists can easily create or re-create a specialty as the business possibilities are endless
  • By focusing more on my business to offer primarily  corporate chair massage, my sales cycle is shorter and more profitable
  • Many “veteran” clients have used our services for years and have expanded their wellness programs for the following reasons; stress relief and relaxation following a busy season, a thank you in appreciation for a job well done, or to promote health and wellness within the office

I am always thrilled with new reviews based on brief yet meaningful interactions with employees following a 15-minute or 30-minute chair massage.  This recent 5-star review was just received late last week as the employee sought an on-site chair massage after a busy week heading into the Christmas break.

Chair massage Maryland!                                                            

“This was my first chair massage (previously I’d had full body massages). I was amazed at how effective it was. Extremely relaxed and worked out the kinks in my back. I’d highly recommend giving Donna a try.”

Corporate Massage Kneads wishes you a fabulous, healthy, and happy holiday and New Year! We would be honored to be considered as your chosen on-site chair massage company in the future.

Corporate Massage Kneads has been Maryland’s premier onsite chair massage company since 2006.  We provide on-site chair massage and wellness programs that can fit whatever particular “kneads” you have!

If on-site corporate chair massage sounds like a program that can be incorporated into your business and wellness program, I hope to hear from you. Please contact Corporate Massage Kneads here!

Chair massage: a mini-vacation

With the holiday ALMOST here, vacation is finally here! Many are thinking of that precious time off known as family watching the sunset - chair massage maryland - Corporate Massage Kneadsvacation. Employees in today’s work environment have a challenge not only scheduling their vacation but also unplugging to take that well-deserved rest to recharge.

A recent Huffington Post article discusses burnout and its negative effects on office workers today. “Burnout is a very real issue in the United States. Spending too much time plugged into our inbox and on the job, less time with loved ones, and commuting BACK into the office can lead to stress and sometimes depression. This in turn can cause health consequences.

To further demonstrate this point is a list of the average number of paid vacation days given in a year to employees in each country (from least to greatest). As noted, the United States tops the list with the least number of days of vacation. It’s time to change that and schedule your vacation before summer ends.

1. United States of America – 13 days
2. Belgium – 20 days
3. Japan – 25 days
4. Korea – 25 days
5. Canada – 26 days
6. United Kingdom – 28 days
7. Australia – 28 days
8. Brazil – 34 days
9. Austria – 35 days (42 for elderly)
10. Germany – 35 days
11. France – 37 days
12. Italy – 42 days

How can your office schedule a mini-break for you and others during a busy week? An on-site chair massage program! Imagine leaving your desk for a peaceful quiet location within your office to settle into a massage chair while listening to peaceful music for 15 or 30 minutes. The corporate chair massage therapists know which muscles require the most attention all while helping you drift away for some rest.

Following your massage session, you’ll feel completely relaxed and ready to face the rest of the day. Corporate chair massage brings questions and inquiries and also decreases stress, relieves muscle pain and headaches, and improves productivity and flexibility! This could be the start of a “mini” vacation right in your office!

One simple call can start the “vacation mode” to schedule your corporate chair massage program!

A relaxing chair massage can maintain your sanity!

How To Maintain Your Sanity During the Holidays.

picture of shopping cart - chair massage maryland - Corporate Massage KneadsHolidays bring laughter, joy, surprises, and lots of energy, but sometimes the opposite! Early December is the time to ensure that you are prepared and armed with some ideas to stop the madness and enjoy the holidays!  Many office workers stress with the long to-do list outside of the typical work week. There are still lunches and dinners to be made, errands to run, house and tree decorating, sending out holiday cards, etc. A chair massage in the office is a great gift and allows for some relaxation which increases focus and productivity.

Why not think about services that make your life easier? There are many in today’s world. Young and old alike can enjoy online (cyber) shopping, which is easy to do along with being time and gas-efficient.

Other suggestions of services that help to maximize your time and minimize your stress include online grocery shopping, dry cleaning delivered to your door, the delivery of meal ingredients, easy-to-prepare crock pot meals, etc.

The service list can be expanded once we figure that our time is worth so much more, especially after a long day at the office. Energies spent on mundane tasks drain us rather than fill us up, especially during this busy time of year.

Wellness programs that are offered on-site typically rank high with new and veteran staff alike. On-site service programs such as chair massage show the care, commitment to health, and dedication on behalf of the employer throughout the year or during this special time of year.

There are so many options to choose from with new and exciting wellness events: chair yoga, yoga classes, and of course on-site chair massage. All programs are easy to schedule with your “kneads” in mind.

A client testimonial from Silver Spring, Maryland says it best!

O-M-G!! HEAVEN!! “What a great experience! I can’t thank Joyce enough for the wonderful massage. I needed it badly. Can’t wait for them to come back!!” On-site Maryland chair client, April 2016.

Many employers would love to hear this feedback from their office workers! Wouldn’t your company?

We offer mobile chair massage events in Maryland’s since 2006.  We provide many varieties of massage and wellness programs that can fit whatever particular “kneads” you have!

If on-site corporate chair massage, chair yoga or yoga classes sound like a program that can be incorporated into your business, contact us here!

Remember the martyrs, thank the veterans.

Veterans Day – it means something different to each of us. Maybe it’s the day your neighbors gather together to make a vet feel special. Maybe it’s an excuse to wear red, white, and blue. Maybe it’s just another picture of military - chair massage maryland - Corporate Massage Kneadsday off of work for you.

Whatever it’s been to you in the past, I challenge you to take the time to remember those who have served our country.

Every day, ordinary people with extraordinary courage and bravery protect and preserve the freedom that we so boldly proclaim. Their noble sacrifice of personal freedom so we can exercise ours is worthy of the utmost honor, praise, and thanks. But personal freedom is not the only cost of our country’s freedom and safety; life itself must sometimes be given to secure the freedom that we so effortlessly enjoy. Memorial Day is a day to remember those souls who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. I urge you to preserve the memory of those who have died in the service of our country.  Live with a thankful spirit.   Live in a manner that honors those who have given served in the military.

Though Veterans Day is set aside to remember those who have served our country, America.  It is also a perfect day to honor those who are still living. Write them a card, take them to lunch, and give them a gift.

At Corporate Massage Kneads, we believe that the gift of massage can greatly benefit veterans. Recent studies have shown that massage therapy can not only aid physical healing but can also help victims recover from PTSD, a syndrome common in veterans. Massage can lower cortisol levels and increase serotonin and dopamine levels, which reduces hyperarousal sensations and eases anxiety in veterans and office workers alike.

Contact Corporate Massage Kneads today at 410-989-3577 to schedule your mobile chair massage event. It’s never too late to start to plan a wellness program when YOUR employees return BACK into the office. There are many benefits to mobile chair massage.

Chair massage: Your GO TO for holiday stress

picture of a client receiving mobile massage chair Maryland - Corporate Massage Kneads Maryland

Many people around the world suffer from a similar issue day to day, stress. The people who are having these issues are realizing that they aren’t the only ones out there with this issue. There are people, however, who seem to have no problem with stress and are always constantly stress-free. You might think that these people just happen to always be happy or these people are never busy; both of those statements are wrong. In fact, many of those are just as busy as you, but they know what activities to include in their weekly routine to keep the stress away. After looking around, I was able to find some of the ways that people who are stress-free schedule their week not including scheduling a chair massage event with us! 

Meditation

By putting a few minutes of meditation per day into your schedule, you are able to reduce your stress levels. It is recommended that you meditate in the mornings so you can have a full 25-minute session without the worry of being interrupted. If you can’t fulfill a 25-minute session, it is always okay to have shorter sessions such as 10 or 15 minutes.

Exercise

The reduction of stress has always been linked to exercise. Many different articles and TV programs will tell you that the key to reducing stress is exercise. The best way to get exercise done is to make sure you set aside extra time in the morning to complete your workout session. Many people have the issue of other agendas within the day interrupting their time at the gym, causing them to miss a few days throughout the week.

Outdoors Time

It has been shown many times that being outside and getting natural sunlight and breathing in fresh air improves the conditions of people. Being able to be at one with nature and get away from the stressful environment indoors is a surefire way to help drop that stress level fast. So if you’re feeling overwhelmed with deadlines and dates, stepping outside for 30 minutes will definitely bring brightness to your mood.

Getting Enough Sleep

A feeling of being overwhelmed or angry is felt more often in people who get less than eight hours of sleep each night. I know that many of us have distractions that are keeping us away from hitting the hay at a decent time at night. Maybe you’re catching up on a new episode of your favorite show or maybe you’re even finishing up some work you didn’t get done. It is very important that you plan ahead and make sure you go to bed at a time that will allow you to go to bed on time. There is a strong correlation between your mood the next day and how many hours of sleep you’re getting.

These are all methods that people who are constantly stressed use to help them stay that way. By incorporating these ideas into your weekly schedule and making sure you follow through with them, you too will notice a difference in the way you feel. After you make these changes to your schedule you might still have a bit of stress that you want to get rid of.

Massage Kneads specializes in relieving stress in offices large and small.  Our highly trained and experienced mobile chair massage therapists will get you back to feeling great and energized, as well as stress-free!
