Chair massage helps on sluggish days!
It seems that the weather pattern lately has been a lot like this: warm, wet, cold, and rainy, and then warm again. Is this the way it feels for your city? If so, it is time
to make the most of the sunshine while it lasts. Through all the weather variables, Corporate Massage Kneads battles it all in order to offer mobile chair massage in your office!
If the weather is variable and not ideal, what can you do to feel like yourself again? There are a few tips to get you back on track to healthy days and ways.
Despite the fact that millions of us say we’ve suffered from the effects of COVID, it can feel as though we are not fully engaged with the heaviness of it all. There’s sound scientific evidence to support the idea that the season can affect our moods.
ENJOY THE SUNSHINE!
Most scientists believe that the problem is related to the way the body responds to daylight. One theory is that light entering the eye causes changes in hormone levels in the body. In our bodies, light functions to stop the production of the sleep hormone melatonin, making us wake up. Shorter daylight hours in the winter cause our bodies to produce higher melatonin, causing lethargy and symptoms of depression. If you’re going through a bout of winter blues, lack of daylight is probably playing a part. The best idea is to enjoy some daylight and sun when the weather warms up during the brief periods of winter.
EATING SEASONAL FOOD HELPS
To fight the blues, It’s important to eat well during times of stress. Eating seasonally helps with the variety of foods now that we enter into autumn. The blues can make you crave sugary foods and carbohydrates such as chocolate, pasta, and bread, but don’t forget to include plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables in your diet.
There is another weapon against the seasonal slump: keeping active. Thirty minutes of vigorous exercise three times a week is effective against depression, but even light exercise will have a beneficial effect, too. If you have a tendency towards SAD, outdoor exercise will have a double benefit, because you’ll gain some daylight. Activity is believed to change the level of the mood-regulating chemical serotonin in the brain. It can also help by providing a pleasant change of scene and helping you to meet new people.
ONSITE MOBILE CHAIR MASSAGE
Another way to beat SAD is receiving a chair massage! Chair massage services increase productivity and increase serotonin rates, relaxation, and stress relief which all help combat the effects of SAD. Corporate Massage Kneads is a business that provides on-site corporate chair massages that will aid employees in fighting depression!
Corporate Massage Kneads, the on-site chair massage company in Maryland, has clients large and small to cover your wellness “kneads.” We enjoyed these recent reviews of our services from one happy employee.
Very Relaxing
“This was my first chair massage but I’m an avid spa participant. This 30-minute chair massage was impressive. I didn’t think I’d get a benefit of such a short massage in a sitting position but it was actually surprisingly good. I can see a benefit in doing it a couple of times a month.”
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 Janet Constantino, here!

Fall into chair massages!
Labor Day is over and September is here which means we are nearing a favorite season, Autumn! Business seems to ramp up for many to get to year-end! This is the season where stress increases as the holidays
come into view. One of the most known events to look forward to is typically the annual office party! Office parties can be fun and relaxing with scheduled chair massages once planned and scheduled.
Corporate Massage Kneads has come up with a good list of ideas that are popular among office parties to help you get a head start.
Theme- Most successful parties in the office usually all have something in common, a good theme. There are a few common themes that have been used, such as costume parties for Halloween or even trick-or-treat-styled candy passing. These have been known to create a fun environment for your employees and coworkers. You can always find something that will make your party special, which might be a theme relating to your company, or something that you think everyone would enjoy more. Whatever you choose, a theme is a must for any party.
Food- Food is always important when it comes to a party, and it has to be good, or else you’ll have some pretty unsatisfied guests. Catering is a very good option for a party, as it guarantees you will have enough food for everybody who is attending. Many local companies will cater to your party and allow you to choose foods so you can have a variety that will comply with everybody’s diets. Office pot lucks allows everyone to pitch in by bringing their favorite foods and sharing them with others. These types of potluck events are customizable as well. Everyone can bring in desserts for a Halloween party, or you can have people bring in their favorite Thanksgiving dishes. The possibilities for bringing in food are endless and will definitely help cut down on that large catering bill!
Activities- A Party can’t just have food and a theme, you also need something to do to keep your guests entertained. Depending on the style of the party you are going to, the different options for activities will change. If you think your company would prefer a less formal gathering, don’t be afraid to think outside of the box! I just attended a client’s party where hand massages were enjoyed along with mini makeovers. Of course, mobile chair massage by Massage Kneads is always a hit especially when it is company-sponsored for a job well done. A party that matches the interest of your company as a whole will turn out much better than one that doesn’t.
It’s always a fun idea to bring in professionals to a party, such as a magician, comedian, or someone that can add some spark to the party. These people know how to become the life of the party instantly and can make everybody interested. You should also consider a professional who can help your employees relax as well. Why not consider a mobile massage session for everyone at the office so everyone can relax and get ready for the upcoming Christmas season? Office workers “knead” a nice relaxing break to help them prepare, so why not request a quote and take the step towards relaxation for the company?
We received this review earlier this summer!
Relaxing & Pleasant!
“Professional and very relaxing. My neck tightness got better in a day after my massage and is getting better following every visit!”

“Fall” into mobile chair massage!
Fall is here marking the calendar SOON! Seasons change and so can we when we make new plans. What new plans for health and wellness can you bring into your office? Chair massage in Maryland is easy to schedule and brings results! I have listed a few new ideas to incorporate easy-to-do tasks that I hope will have a positive impact on your day. Hint, chair massage may be an easy one to check off the list!
Healthy employees are key to a productive and healthy work environment which includes mobile chair massage! Employees who exhibit healthy lifestyles both in the office and at home with their families bring energy and productivity into the workplace.
Here are some simple, creative ideas you and your employees can use to keep yourselves and your families healthy!
Healthy employees are key to a productive and healthy work environment which includes mobile chair massage! Employees who exhibit healthy lifestyles at home with their families bring energy and productivity into the workplace.
Here are some simple, creative ideas you and your employees can use to keep yourselves and your families healthy!
- Outdoor activities: Go for a bike ride, take a walk, play kickball, or do any other physical activity together. Here are some additional ideas for getting outside:
- Walking with friends during work hours or after work with the family
- Swimming, basketball, or yoga at a local gym
- Biking one day a week to and from work before the weather gets too hot
- Catch up: Make a phone call or set up a lunch date to catch up with one of your family members or close friends with whom you haven’t had enough quality time lately. Healthy relationships are an integral part of a healthy lifestyle.
- It’s important to have a social network in and outside of your work environment.
- Listen more: Take time to listen to others during the day and work on improving your communication in and outside of your work environment.
- Volunteer together: Spend a day helping others and connecting over a common purpose.
- Use your office as a personal gym: Take the stairs vs. the elevator, and park further away which allows for walking and adds a few steps to your day both before and after work. Choose to stand when you could be sitting; standing burns 20-50 more calories per hour than sitting!
- Change Your Eating Habits – Maybe start with adding more fruits and veggies as a snack vs. reaching for the snack from the vending machine.
- Park Exploration – Is there a local park that is close to the office which will bring out the ranger in you? Try a new trail or walk to get away from the office to refresh.
- Set a personal goal – Quitting smoking, getting to a healthy weight, going back to school, whatever challenge you’ve been putting off, do it now. Nothing inspires your kids and colleagues to try harder than you setting a healthy example. Encourage your kids to find a challenge as well, whether it be working on their reading, making their bed every day, or keeping their room clean.
A recent client came in for some pain relief from the aches and pains from being TOO active due to a recent marathon cycling event. She sent in this testimonial following her mobile chair massage!
Best mobile chair massage to date!
“I agree with other reviewers, Janet was amazing. So glad I tried the chair massage again. I had a guy prior and I wasn’t all that impressed. I’m definitely booking a full 30 minutes next month. Highly recommend. She dug right into my neck and shoulders, I asked for hard pressure and she certainly was able to comply. While I am a little sore today I feel much less tight than before the appointment. Such a great/convenient offering to have on-site at work!”

What path are you on? Fall into chair massage!
Feeling stuck in a rut with no way to turn it around? A Newsweek article further emphasizes this point with this study outcome: “American workers found that despite the rise of corporate wellness programs, disengagement at the office costs the US $550 billion each year, and work-related stress tacks on an additional $300 billion.” Wow! What can be done to change all this? Chair massage for one idea. Read on!
As Fall is now here, office workers can harness the change in season to allow for increased energy and interest in new habits with minimal energy and cost. With this new season of Fall, it is time to go inward to determine new habits which will increase our well-being. As humans typically follow nature, “a sense of renewal (with a new season) gives us the vision and inspiration to bring our goals and creative energy to fruition.”
Here are some simple tips that may bring satisfaction and change with minimal effort and HUGE pay-offs.
How to Keep Healthy and Joyful During Autumn:
- Schedule Corporate onsite chair massage when employees return to the corporate office: Professional chair massage has many benefits (increased productivity, physical relaxation, greater flexibility, and decreased stress) with minimal cost. Many Human Resource departments are keen to bring new and exciting wellness programs onsite. It only takes one email or phone call to inquire about this type of program!
- Movement: Warmer weather brings sunny days and the desire to get outside for a few minutes during lunch or the following work. Why not start a weekly walking group?
- Create Order: Familiar with the term “spring cleaning?” Many often take to order by cleaning up and removing items that are no longer of use. Clean desktops often bring satisfaction and order to a sometimes busy workday or week.
- Diet changes: Fall allows for fresher foods and healthier options both in and outside of our work environments such as apples, root veggies, etc. Anytime is a great time to join a local community-supported agriculture program. With COVID, more companies deliver to your door!
- New beginnings: Try onsite chair massage, a local yoga class, or outdoor activities like tennis or golf to enjoy nature in a different way.
- Hydration: Increasing our water intake helps to rid the body of that sluggish feeling. Drinking fluids can help remove waste, control our blood pressure, body temperature, and heart rate. An easy option for those working at a desk during normal business hours!
- Pay it forward: Small acts of random kindness can delight and surprise people throughout a busy work week. Why not start a habit like this?

Celebrating 22 years as a licensed chair massage therapist!
Monday morning is sometimes slow to get re-oriented with the pending “To Do” list along with attending to the email inbox. Thus, I was a slow start to the day (with
coffee in hand) yesterday as I dug into the inbox to sort through the priorities for the coming week. I could use a mobile chair massage, I suppose!
I was pleasantly surprised to get a reminder TWENTY years ago today, I graduated from The Atlanta School of Massage! Following that, Corporate Massage Kneads is based in Maryland and was opened in October 2006. My mood picked up as I remembered that today so vividly as it was full of celebration as I completed 720 hours of instruction, many student clinics, and tests!
Just for a kick, I looked back at what was significant on this date to find some interesting facts!

Looking back at those little facts from 2001 makes me realize how long ago twenty years really were and how far my career as a massage therapist has come in the world of wellness while offering on-site chair massages.
The years have rolled by and I am filled with gratitude to have chosen this massage as my life’s work. My company, Corporate Massage Kneads, continues to push me to exceed clients’ expectations of me and others that work with me. Wellness programs are “in” now as the public, large and small corporations seek corporate chair massage, chair yoga, stretching, and exercise as a cornerstone for increasing productivity while decreasing stress.
With a pre-COVID testimonial, I continue the belief that Corporate Massage Kneads continues to exceed the expectations of every massage client working in corporate offices.
Exceptional “Once again, I cannot express enough what a benefit such a service such as this one by Massage Kneads, truly means to a healthy, and productive day.

Exceed expectations for chair massage in Maryland!
Any business offering a service has to excel with the highest level of customer service to retain and grow its business. The same applies to Corporate Massage Kneads while offering mobile chair massage in Maryland. This realization came into clear focus last week when I celebrated my birthday over a year ago and I
still think about the outstanding service and meal that was enjoyed. I chose a local restaurant which others always rave about. I was curious and anxious to enjoy the food and atmosphere for a special dinner out.
Hands down, it was one of the best meals in recent (and distant!) memory. Here’s why…the food was fabulous (YES), but more importantly the attention to detail with every interaction before, during, and following the meal was exceptional.
The staff called me personally to confirm the date, time and details for our booking. The gentleman was attentive, polite, and very polished on the phone. As we entered the building, we were greeted by name and with a customized menu for my special occasion. We were then promptly escorted to our remarkable table as the night and experiences continued to exceed my expectations. Our waiter was attentive in just the right manner while being helpful with suggestions regarding their expansive menu.
From start to finish, the meal and experience were excellent and of great value considering the expense.
I hope those that interact with my company, Massage Kneads, have that same impression from start to finish. My vision is to exceed expectations with every client interaction before, during, and following any on-site corporate chair massage event.
Since 2006, my on-site chair massage company in Maryland offers chair massage for any type of corporate event.
As a licensed massage therapist myself since 2001, Massage Kneads has the expertise and credentials to offer corporate on-site chair massage. As a chair massage business for the past 12 years, Massage Kneads has offered corporate chair massage and other wellness programs to new and returning clients year after year in the local area.
With tenured massage therapists offering corporate chair massage, Massage Kneads would offer the perfect fit for your wellness “kneads.” All therapists hired by Massage Kneads have local state licensing, insurance, and an average of 5+ years with this specific type of work.
This is important to note as the business is run by a nationally certified massage therapist (with 18 years of experience) who is experienced with all details of organizing and scheduling corporate on-site chair massage wellness events.
Chair massage therapists’ skills differ from table massage therapists with tempo (different strokes), limited area of concentration (to the head, neck, and shoulder areas) along with time constraints to allow for maximum results for increased productivity and lower stress while working in a shortened time period. All my therapists are experienced in this arena as we have offered corporate chair massage to a variety of businesses and corporations for many years now.
As your chosen vendor for massage wellness events, Massage Kneads has all documentation to move forward for this type of program.
Please see the supporting details and documentation information below:
- Documentation (license, insurance, and a resume) for each assigned chair massage therapist upon request
- Massage Kneads’ Liability Releases that are signed by each employee (which also protects your organization)
- A signup sheet used to schedule employee massages OR an automated scheduling program that allows the employees to sign up for their time slot
- A corporate contract that details your event, pricing, your confirmed therapist/s, etc.
- W-9 tax form which is often requested by accounting
Many clients have commented that working with Massage Kneads allows for easy scheduling and a turnkey operation and wellness program.
Massage Kneads continues to build our client base one massage at a time. This review was received late in 2018 which demonstrates my promise of doing just that.
5 stars!
I got a 25-minute chair massage
“I wish more people would book with Janet. She is great at what she does and absolutely the most talented I’ve ever had. I look forward to seeing that she is coming to (company name) to give massages. She can create a spa-like atmosphere in a basic meeting room and the quality of her work is beyond anything I’ve experienced at a full-scale spa (full body massage). She was also able to give recommendations for tensions I felt needed further looking into. Book her so she’ll keep coming!”
