Increased focus after chair massage
A common issue I have seen throughout the last couple of years and especially since COVID is distractions interfering with efficiency, productivity, and focus. These distractions can range from a wide variety of different things in your life like your cell phone, emails, incoming mail, etc. Some of these situations are in your control and some are out of your control. But, fear not, I have found a few useful techniques to help you out with keeping those distractions out of your life. Increased focus can follow after a chair massage session. Some of these I have used in the past and some of them are suggestions from others out there with the same struggles.
Put that phone down!
If you’re working for a company or a business, you most likely have a cellphone. They’re a great way to contact your boss and your coworkers with ease. Cell phone communication can speed up your productivity. Using email has sometimes been known to be more time-consuming as responses are not immediate. Both tools can increase productivity as long as they are monitored and used appropriately. They can also be our worst enemy in terms of distractions with Facebook, music, and YouTube all readily and easily available.
I know you don’t want to miss that tweet from your favorite celebrity, interest group, etc. Neither do I but when it comes to work putting the phone away and out of sight can be the best tool to avoid distraction. One suggestion is switching off notifications for certain apps during work hours to avoid temptation. One simple modification to your phone settings will keep you on task and hard at work without making you miss an important update!
There’s a time and place for that new episode.
I know we all have our guilty pleasures when it comes to television shows. Some of us can’t wait to see who gets eliminated or what happens next. It happens to everyone, and that’s mainly the point of television, to get you hooked. It’s okay to watch these shows, cause let’s face it, we all do. I have a few tricks up my sleeve to help you out if you’re struggling with this issue too.
You come home from a long day of work and you still have the giant pile of paperwork to finish up, but your show is on in 10 minutes. The solution to this common problem is actually a lot more simple than it may seem. You can add the show to your DVR and allow for the episode to record so you can watch it at your own convenience when you’re through with all of your work. I don’t know about you but when I get to sit down and watch my favorite program after all my work is finished, it’s much more satisfying.
Relax!
With these new tricks on your mind, you’ll be able to work through the workday without distraction. Meeting deadlines and finishing projects will come much easier once you spend less time (and energy!) with non-work-related distractions. These two methods work hand in hand with each other. If you’re on your phone less and work harder throughout the day, you might be able to go home without extra things to do which may just allow for more downtime at night and during the weekends.
You’ll notice you have more time to yourself to do things you want to do outside of work. You might just realize you have more stress than you know. Working those long days at the office definitely puts a damper on your emotional and physical health. A relaxing massage from Massage Kneads has been known to help out with stress and increase productivity during the work day. So take a break from the big things in your life and schedule a chair massage today!
This review was just emailed to us today. Corporate Massage Kneads is confident to focus on your “kneads” to help decrease your stress while increasing your productivity following your mobile chair massage.

What is the “water cooler effect”?
Staying on-site for work is coming BACK although working remotely is IN! What is your company offering to bring your employees back into the office? Requests for chair massage are on the rise so it seems that employees are heading back to the office.

Reading numerous different articles preparing for this blog highlighted this recent change. Online posts highlight the shift of employees coming back into the office from the comfort of working in their own homes. This new trend has been nicknamed the “water cooler effect.”
Large companies (you know them all!) are encouraging more interaction between co-workers which allows for more creative thinking and increased performance. With new office buildings and complexes being built, there is much more thought on how to build teamwork with employees during the 40+ hours of a regular workweek.
Companies are striving to hire and retain valuable employees. This year, more and more inquiries have been received by Corporate Massage Kneads to plan chair massage events from many types of companies, both large and small. New programs are sure to bring excitement to your work life.
Some businesses have offered these types of programs with great success:
- Team building retreats or programs
- Themed events such as game nights, cooking demos, yoga classes
- Pictures to post on the intranet social media platforms
- Parties with themes such as holiday parties with competitions built-in
- On-site chair massage events (We hope!) to show staff appreciation
Many companies seek wellness programs and want to bring stress relief to the office worker. In doing this, it shows the concern and appreciation which goes a long way to those working each day bringing their best.
Corporate Massage Kneads was fortunate enough to receive this review just a few days ago. We welcome this feedback as it shows the value and appreciation from our clients AND their employees.

A vacation = mobile chair massage
If you work for a company, you already know about something that isn’t talked about very commonly, vacation days. These days getting time away from the office can be not only tricky but time-consuming when planning to take a relaxing trip. Some even save those days up for maybe a week to themselves, relaxing and rejuvenating in the comfort of their own home for a “staycation.” According to recent studies, it seems that much working full time is not using vacation but is constantly “saving” vacation days. Enjoy a mini vacation feeling in the office when you enjoy a mobile chair massage wellness event.
You may think to yourself, maybe these people are actually saving these days for a month-long vacation in Hawaii or some other exotic trip. The fact of the matter is, when asked, these people claim that they feel more productive by not using up the vacation time they have. This may seem like a bizarre thing to comprehend, as it was to me when I first read up on it. It does, however, make quite a bit of sense once you put it into perspective using the work industry.
In order to seem like you’re always on task and ahead of the game, you need to go to work as often as possible. By working often and keeping up with all of the information, you will seem very productive. I know for a fact I feel very productive and up to date with all of the latest news when I work often. It’s a feeling you gain from the rush of work and the ability to get through it at a decent time. Just because you are doing all of these things to get your work in on time, doesn’t mean you are actually at your full level of productivity. This is the part where all of those extra vacation days you’ve been “saving” will come in.
Once you realize that vacation time is actually implemented to help keep your levels of productivity at a high, you might reconsider saving those days forever. A vacation allows you to clear your mind and bring yourself to a state with no stress. This can be any type of vacation even if you plan on spending it with your friends, your family, or alone. By surrounding yourself in a comfortable or exciting environment, you are able to bring your mind away from the workplace and give yourself some time.
Any effort to reduce your stress levels can actually help your productivity levels. Maybe use a vacation day and go to a spa with the girls or even spend a weekend with your family in the mountains. It doesn’t have to be something big and spectacular, just something to take you somewhere else for a little while.
One could also make small minor lifestyle improvements throughout the day to bring stress levels down. Lighting some nice scented candles and drinking a cup of tea by the fireplace is an easy solution as well if you still plan to “save” those vacation days.
The quickest way to stress reduction is to target the source of the stress in your body. This can be achieved by a licensed, trained, and experienced massage therapist with Corporate Massage Kneads. This type of wellness program on-site can often “hit the spot” just right and offer stress relief in order to keep productivity levels up.
This is what one client said about his recent mobile chair massage!
5 stars!

Six tips + chair massage bring productivity!
Ergonomic and productive workspaces are very “in” right now. As many large corporations draw their office staff back into the office, it is important to have functional workspaces to help transition workers. Here are
some tips that I have learned from different journals, websites, and daily newspapers. Chair massage is an obvious draw!
Productivity is key here so one way to maximize your tasks is to clear the clutter on the desktop, files, and walls. As time-consuming as that sounds, the payoff is big to keep a fresh clear desktop to allow our minds to focus on the tasks at hand.
Here are some ideas for small investments which pay off BIG!
Digital scanner
A scanner is a beneficial investment as it saves paper and time in finding important documents and space in the office.
Proper lighting
Natural light is ideal from windows and when not feasible, recessed lighting will also work. Avoiding desk lamps and floor lamps is key as it takes up valuable floor space and adds to overall clutter.
Double monitors
Working from two monitors side by side allows for more flexibility with incoming emails, important reference documents, and productivity.
Comfortable common spaces to collaborate
Working collectively on large projects seems to be the trend now. Comfortable and inviting common spaces allow for dialogue and comfort during long work weeks.
Updated kitchen spaces including hot beverages!
An online survey (www.buildings.com) indicated that “73% of office workers said a well-stocked kitchen would make them happier at work, with 57% indicating that it could lead to increased productivity.” What other items would bring some happiness? Coffee, upscale teas, and possibly hot chocolate bring warmth and comfort while boosting productivity.
Clean and efficient offices
Having a regular cleaning to take away debris and trash from each office space goes a long way to boost and make the office more pleasant. An extra seating area in a larger office invites others to bring their ideas for bigger projects.
What else brings productivity and refreshment to your workday? Mobile chair massage enhances the workday experience with many benefits such as:
- Increased morale and productivity.
- Relief of stress and fatigue.
- Relaxation to muscles and soothes the spirit.
- Opens the mind and increases alertness.
- Clears thinking and releases the individual’s innate creativity.
- Increases brain power and sharpens the senses.
Is your business environment in need of some stress relief, wellness, AND productivity? Optimize health in your office and bring Massage Kneads into your office for some “kneaded” stress relief.

YES to chair massage & efficiency!
Mobile chair massage can help with productivity!
The morning alarm buzzes early now that I have high schoolers that greet the school bus in the dark for the first-morning school bell. The buzz starts early and continues throughout the day during the week. If you are like me, there are too many details and schedules to consider each day. The good news is that time management skills can be learned and can really make an impact on daily results! Chair massage helps with productivity in and outside of the office!
Here are some ideas to help with your time management and efficiency.
Plan your day each day
Take the first ten minutes of the daily workday to prioritize your day. This is important to list the order of how you will start and end each day. Some office workers color code, others prefer to list. Whatever your method, the list must contain your “to do” items in order of priority.
Delegate, delegate, delegate!
Some workers are in touch with their greatest strengths and stick to those that can bring the most results. Have you taken the time to do this later? As jobs and priorities change, so do our strengths with given projects, clients, etc. What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Most importantly, what can you allow others to help to manage skills that are not your strongest?
Rush the unimportant
This is a curious concept as many workers take more time to complete the unimportant which just allows for mental clutter throughout the day. If it is a simple bill to be paid, a follow-up call or text promptly completes the task and moves on to the more important business of the day.
Compress the time for completion of assigned projects
Allowing for an open-ended due date allows workers to drag through a project vs. one that has a set deadline. I remember in college when projects and papers were due and the relief that followed when completed. I try to manage this with long-term projects in order to clear the desk and my mind each week.
Schedule your quitting time each day when in the office
What is your routine for leaving the office? Do you have a set time to pack up and head out? This may be another key to success as it ends the day and again sorts the priorities over and over again each new day and week. One example of this is the organization and time management skills that are used the week prior to going out on vacation. Typically, most office workers busily prepare for the week off by completing most if not all of their outstanding projects and items before turning off the office light for their scheduled vacation.
Schedule your wellness programs in the office NOW
Mobile chair massage, chair yoga, and other wellness programs enhance productivity throughout the day and week. The benefits of mobile chair massage are many including increased productivity, improved mental acuity, decreased stress, decreased absenteeism due to stress-related illnesses along with fewer aches and pains from prolonged sitting.
