Decrease stress with chair massage!
Photo by Thought Catalog
How do we as a corporate culture avoid stress? With all the technology updates in recent years, it seems that many office workers cannot escape increased levels of daily stress. This was in fact confirmed recently as reported by the Positive Experience Index. Many Americans seem to show higher levels of stress despite the rich standard of living vs. other countries around the work. Here are FIVE steps to help decrease stress in your daily work life. Special programs such as chair massage help to decrease stress AND increase productivity!
What slight changes can you make to make a huge difference in your work week?
Here are some ideas that may bring new energy and stress relief.
Form professional relationships with those that are positive and helpful
Working within an office allows for daily interaction with work colleagues. This helps when forming positive relations both inside and outside of the workday. Surround yourself with those that bring encouragement and positive vibes your way.
Put a new focus on healthy foods which enrich your mental and physical health
Healthy foods can impact your energy level throughout the day. Fresh fruit, produce and lean protein is easy to bring to the office for lunch vs. vending machine snacks which are often not as healthy (and also require pocket change!) Most offices allow easy access to the kitchen to reheat and store food.
Set up a new sleep routine to ensure mental alertness
Sleeping and restoring the body is a critical part of starting the day right! Eight hours seems to be the magical number to ensure feeling refreshed and ready for the day. Check out the apps on your phone to encourage better sleeping. Many reports that sticking to a schedule often brings better rest vs. random sleep patterns. Many sites suggest minimal screen time within one hour of going to sleep. One small change can make a HUGE difference at the start of the day!
Schedule more exercise with the office if there is a gym or walk outside during breaks
Does your office complex allow you access to a gym, yoga, or other options for physical activity? Take part and improve your physical and mental health only a few times a week! Start a contest to encourage movement and surely your energy will improve.
Drink more water!
This is easy and so helpful to improve your energy level. As a chair massage therapist, I find that many do not drink enough water throughout the day which can leave the client feeling sluggish and tired. There are many sites that educate about how much water to drink throughout the day for better functioning. Water is typically easy to find, cheap to buy if you prefer bottled water, and readily accessible in offices!

Admin Asst Day is a winner with chair massage!
Administrative assistants are integral to any workplace. Formerly referred to as “secretaries,” these unsung heroes can be labeled as executive assistants, merely “admins,” professional
administrators, etc. Though they often do not have much-recognized authority, their opinions, abilities, and encouragement of their bosses make them invaluable to their organization or company. Bring chair massage in the office as a thank you for their hard work!
Administrative assistants perform daily tasks that keep the company running seamlessly- activities such as planning meetings, managing events, sorting through mail, making quick decisions, and more. They are not merely coffee runners or phone answerers. They are adaptable, reactive, and quick on their feet- the backbone of the office and often the sanity of their employers. While some employers value education within any administrative assistants they hire, others prefer street smarts and common sense to a diploma on the wall. Overall, administrative assistants can serve various functions for their companies and can be valued for their plethora of skills. Some administrative assistants’ tasks only extend to office-related activities, while others are involved in the personal lives of their employers and can help with errands and family-related events.
In any case, administrative assistants deserve appreciation and a huge “thank you.” Wednesday, April 26, 2023, is Administrative Appreciation Day, and you should make sure that your assistants feel how grateful you are for their hard and dedicated work. They are rarely in the spotlight, yet without them, many companies would fall apart. Show your professional assistants that you appreciate them! Give Corporate Massage Kneads a call at 410-989-3577 to schedule your onsite chair massage therapy event in the office for some of your most valued employees.

Chair massage near me!
Photo by Christin Hume
Our workload shifts from day to day, as do our therapeutic “kneads.” Chair massage in Maryland is always near me. The first key to receiving a fabulous massage is to discern how you are feeling and what areas would be welcome to massage!
Because there are many types of massage, I always suggest that clients plan the type of treatment that would offer the maximum healing for the time, energy, and money spent.
It is important to consider the type of massage, variation in pressure, and areas of focus to gain the desired outcome.
Below, please find the types of massage to discover your “kneaded” treatment.
TYPES OF MASSAGE:
Corporate onsite chair massage: Typically in an office setting for 15 to 30 minutes for a fully clothed chair massage. The client can often experience a sense of stress relief from back and shoulder strain due to daily office pressures. It is easy to schedule an onsite chair massage with reasonable pricing and is very valuable.
Table massage: Typically offered in a spa or private location with modest clothing. Clients are placed on a table to allow for a longer massage with a focus on the upper and lower portion of the body. Allow 60 to 90 minutes for a table massage.
TYPICAL MODALITIES WITHIN MASSAGE:
Swedish massage: Typically offered in both chair and table massage types, this technique uses light pressure to relieve stress and promote relaxation and awareness. Clients that request this type of massage prefer lighter pressure with longer strokes with a full body massage on a table. Best for: Relaxing after a long, stressful week.
Trigger Point Therapy: Trigger point massage is typically used for specific areas of pain often with deeper pressure to allow the muscle to release. This type of massage can be administered either through chair massage or table massage.
Sports Massage: This type of massage is often done prior to or following an athletic event in order to allow muscles to loosen. This massage is most beneficial in addition to stretching. This type of massage is typically administered through table massage. Best for: Dealing with sport-specific issues and nagging injuries.
Deep Tissue Massage: Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage with increased pressure to allow muscles to release chronic tension. Clients that request this type of massage are familiar with a high threshold for pressure. This type of massage can be administered either through chair massage or table massage. Best for: Relieving deep knots and fixing movement patterns.

Relax with a chair massage before public speaking!
When it comes to working for a company, or even if you’re self-employed, you have to make sure you beef up your public speaking skills. For some of us, this comes very naturally and we are able to convey our ideas very easily and clearly, but for some of us, it can be harder. Regardless of what level you have with public speaking, you can always improve. Other than being present, you have to prepare yourself both mentally and with knowledge. Chair massage can relieve some of the stress.
Observation
When you walk into the office meeting where you will be presenting or even just a meeting, make sure you take a look around you. Knowing and understanding your audience is the first big step in successful performance and time management. If the meeting and members are predetermined, feel free to research a bit to help understand, if not you can always walk around and introduce yourself. Having a basic knowledge of who you’re conveying your message to not only makes it a bit easier on you but can help you reach that audience.
Control your speaking
When you’re in a meeting, it is not only important to talk, but it’s also imperative that you listen to what everyone else in the room has to say. Instead of making a long list of stuff you want to say during a meeting, pick out key points that must be presented, but also make sure the information is relevant. If the topic goes into an area where you don’t have information ready, make sure you’re not repeating ideas from the previous topic. In short, take the meeting as a whole and think of what needs to be said, what’s optional and focus on what others are discussing.
Relate to the audience
The easiest way to make the audience feel comfortable is humor. By allowing others to see you as a fun, relatable person, not only will you feel more comfortable, the audience will be more engaged. Things you are saying will be picked up by the listeners and they may even begin to ask questions, which means you have their attention.
Most importantly, make sure you are comfortable, know what you’re saying, stay engaged with your audience, and talk clearly.

Spring & break for chair massage!
The end of February is upon us! This makes me think of planning my spring break! What is better than relaxing in the warm sun after a full day of play? Not all of us are able to do that, however, although we can
always dream! Chair massage in Maryland is always an option for those busy workers who cannot get time away from the office. For some of us, this is an exciting time when we’re able to take a large vacation as a family.
Here are some ideas to keep all engaged and entertained for this most awaited week in spring; Spring Break!
There are some ways to keep it a bit less stressful and boring. Just make sure you plan ahead so you’re not spending time the night before planning for an entire week-long break.
Fun in the sun!
Since not all of us are able to take a nice getaway trip to Mexico, there are other ways to keep both you and your children happy. One of which is a day trip to the closest water you can find. For some of us, there’s a beach within 2-3 hours’ driving distance, which can definitely be a fun time. There are also many people with no beaches in sight! Fear not, there are many small lakes that can be a fun place to hang out for the day. It’s a fun way to catch up on your tanning while giving your children time to play in the ocean and get in touch with their creative side.
Cardio for everyone
It is very important you stay on track with your exercise routine, even when you’re handling and making sure your kids are satisfied. The easiest way to do this is to head to your normal gym. Many gym memberships include free childcare options and many of these are trainers who will bring children to the pool for a bit or through obstacle courses to make sure they’re using all their energy. So you can exercise with ease, knowing that your children aren’t just sitting around. Make sure you ask what they will be doing for that day and prepare your children in advance with snacks and water.
Spring break is supposed to be a time of relaxation where we can all sit back and take a breather, but it’s not like that for everyone. It’s important to give yourself time to relax and reduce stress levels. Juggling work with children at home can be trying at times but it doesn’t have to be. More than likely, there are coworkers in your line of work dealing with the same exact stress.
Talk to your manager about requesting a quote from Corporate Massage Kneads for this Spring Break. Our mobile chair massage therapists will make sure you leave feeling good about yourself and less stressed out. Your department will definitely appreciate some relaxation this time of year!
Kim received her mobile chair massage in Maryland and updated us on her “spring and break” into wellness!
“I had a great massage with David yesterday. I experience a lot of tightness in my Trapezius muscles. David was able to give me relief from the pain I was experiencing. This was my second time going to him. Definitely making this a part of my regular health and wellness routine.”

Employee appreciation day every.day.
Celebrate Employee Appreciation Day on March 3, 2023! Our thoughts turn to employees returning to the office following COVID. Whether employees admit it or not, many have concerns about returning to the office.
Twenty percent of workers report experiencing a great deal of stress at work.
Source: https://bit.ly/31KdfeL
Typical concerns include office apparel, and personal and office safety to name a few.
The challenges are many for those working as a small business owner or in Human Resources lately. How do you successfully bring employees back after an 18-month leave from the office?
Corporate Massage Kneads has some ideas to bring back employees!
A Return to the Office gathering
Thank your employees for continuing to be rock stars of your company throughout COVID. Take the event outside while serving delicious food, light and upbeat music, and perhaps a mobile chair massage! Any idea that is new and different from the days of old will surely be remembered by all. The benefits of chair massage are amazing and could be considered as a thank-you wellness program when it is safe for ALL to resume our normal activities. Our clients’ testimonials are here!
Back in the Game!
Bring the fun back outside while the weather is cool and breezy. Offer simple games like cornhole, some carnival games, darts, mini-golf, or basketball. These types of activities build team morale with exercise as a bonus. Why not incorporate the theme with a motivational speech from the CEO when rallying the troops with the “GAME ON” theme to close out the year?
Food Truck Rodeos
Food and music lighten the mood and atmosphere. Consider making a night out for ALL including families or significant others. It may take the edge off and show the spouses or partners goodwill. Besides, who doe not like a night out with no cooking?
When your business environment is in need of some stress relief, wellness, AND productivity, please reach out to Corporate Massage Kneads! We can help to optimize the health and well-being of your office by offering mobile chair massage your office for some “kneaded” stress relief.
