“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?
ESCAPE. EXPERIENCE. ENJOY!

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. I have gained many benefits from the service that I gave my co-worker a session. Now they too agree… Wonderful and a real bargain for the convenience and quality of service. “

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!”

Unlock productivity with mobile chair massage in Maryland
Welcome to 2019! What is on your “to-do” list for this year? Could corporate chair massage be on that list? Now is the time to consider a corporate wellness program that gives back to you and your co-workers in your

office. It’s early in the week and the to-do list growing. The weather is cold and the coffee is hot as we settle into the New Year and growing list of priorities and projects.
Sound familiar? This growing list is typically of a rather high frequency during the darker days of winter. The holidays are over as the tree and lights are taken down and packed away until they twinkle again later this year.
Offering a turn-key program allows for minimal stress with maximum results. Massage Kneads’ therapists are licensed, certified, and insured with an average of 7+ years of chair massage therapy.
Our therapists are professional in dress and in manner. With all supplies (the massage chair, lotion, music, and face covers) handy, we are ready to create a serene atmosphere to allow for relaxation and minimal noise and conversation!
As you know, there are many benefits to receiving a corporate chair massage. Employees typically list these associated benefits of on-site chair massage.
· Improved accuracy in work projects
· Improved sleep and relaxation
· Reduced stress-induced illness(es)
· Lowered anxiety
· Decreased stress
Massage Kneads offers two programs that can be tailored around your budget, wants, and “kneads.”
The employer-paid option is typical and well received as the employees are most eager and available to enjoy on-site chair massage. Typical requests are for 10, 15, or 30 minutes in length for each client. Scheduling is as easy as one, two, or three!
The other option, employee paid, is another also quite well received. Each employee pays for his/her chair massage through an online scheduler and secures their chosen time and date with payment online.
As an employer, I would welcome reviews such as this one as it confirms the value of wellness in the work environment. As an employer, wouldn’t you like the same?
Pleasant Surprise
“A friend encouraged me to give this a try and now I’m wondering why I waited so long! My therapist did great work. She knows how to find those knots and work them out. She may have found a new regular customer here.”
How can YOUR office allow for such a great program with on-site chair massage? A simple call to me, Janet Constantino, CEO of Massage Kneads, can start the process for a turn-key wellness program.
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 buzz me at 410-989 3577 or you can easily contact me here!
Since 2006, Corporate Massage Kneads is Maryland’s premier on-site chair massage company. We provide corporate chair massage and wellness programs that fit whatever particular “kneads” you have!

Bring staff in with chair massage!
Thinking of offering a new wellness program but not sure where to start? Look no more! Consider a corporate on-site chair massage program vs. those same old, same old offerings of the past. Wellness programs with breakfasts and/or lunches are often appreciated but do not have the lasting effect that chair massage would.
Besides, who wouldn’t want productivity to increase with those looming deadlines?
“In a recent study, an American Psychologist gave one group of workers a 15-minute rest and another a 15-minute massage. The group that received the massage performed significantly better on complicated tasks like math problems. Chair massage can also improve creative thinking and relieves fatigue. It’s better than a cup of coffee!”
Corporate Massage Kneads now offers two types of onsite chair massage programs for our clients:
- Corporate sponsored on-site massage(employer pays an hourly rate for chair massage). This program is usually used for health fairs where employees enjoy corporate-sponsored events. Typically, there are different vendors within the health arena offering different services and/or programs. Chair massage creates a lot of buzz (and smiles) as employees receive a “mini” chair massage at no cost. Tipping is appreciated but not required.
- The “Employee Pay As You Enjoy” program(employee pays for their chair massage) is also of interest. This program is offered through an online scheduler, so the employee can simply schedule and pay online with a credit card for his/her own massage. Tipping is appreciated but not required.
Both programs are:
- Corporate Chair Massage focused on the client’s neck, shoulders, back, and arms
- Onsite within your corporate setting
- Efficient for your employees with no travel time and value for stress reduction
- Reasonably priced for both the corporation and the employee
Below, please find the two most requested time allotments for corporate chair massage within your office.
15 minutes (4 clients per hour)
20 minutes (3 clients per hour)
Employee participation in an onsite chair massage program is high. If the employer pays for the program, there is a higher participation rate with an estimated 80% of employee interest. With the employee-paid option, the interest drops a little to maybe 60%.
Either program requires a two-hour minimum with a signed contractual agreement. Additional travel fees may apply depending on your corporate location.
All clients must have a signed contractual agreement prior to any workplace wellness event. All pricing is determined by your “kneads” and location.
Like massage, we are flexible!
Contact Janet Constantino, CEO of Massage Kneads, at admin@corporatemassagekneads.com to get this program started!
