Chair massage keeps staff in the office!
This view is preferred by many during the summer months!
The days are lighter longer and some have their sites set on Memorial Day weekend! While I was at a yoga class earlier this morning, the instructor reminded the class that we can now officially wear white again. Her statement made me wonder. Do employees really abide by this outdated rule like many others? Many outdated wellness programs bring little interest, unlike chair massage!
Studies have shown that hot weather can cause an increase in levels of aggression. The number of crimes committed in large cities rises during the hot summer months. Large companies like AAA report that drivers are more aggressive with their driving behaviors.
Bringing this stream of thought back into the office, hot weather often leads to discomfort. I know this is sometimes an issue in my own house so I can only imagine how it widely varies in the workplace. I often see clients in long sleeves and sweaters arriving for this chair massage appointment, even in the summertime!
Summertime also tempts the office staff with bright sunnies skies and dreams of being poolside. Obvious sunburns can also show off time spent away from the desk.
Summertime dress is often a concern. Flip flops or no flip flops? Are sandals too casual? Most HR departments set the guidelines for these concerns according to the internal dress code. What is your office protocol? Have standards been set and enforced? If the business is a manufacturing facility, closed-toed shoes are often required year-round.
Spring and summer are ideal to refresh the interest and encourage employees to stay in the office rather than daydream about what waits for them following typical business hours!
For example, meditation can help with anxiety as it calms the mind and refreshes. This could help relieve the stress that hot and sometimes lengthy commutes to and from the office cause. Yoga classes strengthen, stretch, and can even warm up the body if the employee is sensitive to colder AC temps. On-site chair massage can increase productivity, decrease stress, and calm the body from the strain of sitting many hours at the desk.
I was pleased to receive this testimonial recently as a new client sent me this kind of follow-up.
5 stars! Amazing!
“Just recently scheduled my first massage with Massage Kneads. I was blown away. It was only 15 minutes but was 100% worth it and kept me relaxed for the rest of the day. I will definitely be looking forward to my next visit and I would HIGHLY recommend Massage Kneads. Thank YOU!!!!”
With reviews like this one, I will continue to work all summer long side by side with others who are doing the same!

Chair massage improves movement!
Over the last few centuries, the image of the average American worker has changed significantly. During the Industrial Revolution, most male workers labored in factories. With new technologies and America becoming more consumer-based, most jobs now are located sitting in an office building. Movement is the key to wellness vs. sitting. Chair massage can help to increase flexibility and movement.
Since many forms of employment are becoming increasingly sedentary, it is taking a toll on our health. The typical office job today requires less labor-intensive duties than the average job 100 years ago, which included more factory labor. A new report shows the typical office worker spends longer sitting each day than a typical retiree.
This report looks into the typical lifestyle of an office worker and highlights why many people are at risk of developing obesity or are already obese. Heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes, cancers, and poor mental health have all been linked to sedentary behavior. A desk-bound job requires little in the way of physical activity.
It surprised me when the study stated that the typical office worker spends more time sitting than a typical person aged over 75 years old. Middle-aged men spend close to half an hour longer seated every weekday than a retiree. Working women aged under 45 fall only six minutes short of the activity levels of elderly people. In order to prevent all of the horrible diseases that are linked to sedentary behavior, America’s workers must become more active.
These figures reflect the changing forms of employment, where manufacturing has shifted to services and the tendency towards a longer-hours working culture. With jobs no longer being as labor-intensive, workplace wellness is more important than ever. The typical U.S. adult spends nine to 10 hours each day sitting. This is such a level of inactivity that even a 30- or 60-minute workout cannot counteract its effects.
In order for workers to become more active, the workplace should encourage employees to take more exercise in their leisure time and encourage the use of technology like sit-to-stand desks, which can move up and down, to reduce work sedentary time. A related technological idea is the treadmill desk that enables a person to ‘walk’ whilst working. These are desks with a modified treadmill base attached to a counter-level work surface. Most belts are designed to go at a low speed, within the 1-2 miles per hour range.

Chair massage near me
Employers are seeking ways to bring employees BACK into the office after a two-year retreat. Some HR executives may Google terms like Chair Massage Near Me or Mobile Chair Massage to get a better
understanding of what is offered in the local area.
Onsite chair massage programs are easy to schedule and set up with Corporate Massage Kneads! We are a turn-key company offering chair massage in the Maryland area primarily.
Why schedule your chair massage event?
Today’s office workers can achieve little milestones in little ways to bring healthy (and happiness) each day. Regular movement, chair massage, and a positive attitude can do wonders during our normal, routine tasks.
How can an office worker increase productivity while bringing healthy habits to work?
Here are some ideas were taken from the Inc.com article. (http://www.inc.com/john-rampton/15-ways-to-increase-productivity-at-work.html)
Take exercise breaks.
Using work time to exercise may actually help improve productivity, according to this published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. If possible, build in set times during the week for taking a walk or going to the gym. Getting your blood pumping could be just what’s needed to clear your head and get your focus back.
Take regular breaks.
It sounds counterintuitive, but taking scheduled breaks can actually help improve concentration. Some research has shown that taking short breaks during long tasks helps you to maintain a constant level of performance; while working at a task without breaks leads to a steady decline in performance.
Corporate on-site chair massage can be a welcomed break for employees to “re-set” for the day. As you know, corporate massage decreases stress and increases productivity.
Give yourself something nice to look at.
It may sound unlikely, but some research shows outfitting an office with aesthetically pleasing elements–like plants–can increase productivity by up to 15 percent. Jazz up your office space with pictures, candles, flowers, or anything else that puts a smile on your face.

Benefits of Mobile Chair Massage
Mobile chair massage helps ease aches and pains.
I think that most people can agree that receiving a massage feels fantastic. Relaxed muscles, a soothing atmosphere, and a time of rest can certainly bring a smile to anyone’s face. And while massage therapy feels wonderful, there are also significant benefits that might make you think about scheduling an appointment sooner rather than later. Chair massage therapy eases pain and reduces muscle inflammation that could debilitate movement and bodily function. A mere ten minutes of massage can greatly reduce aches and stiffness, allowing for a fuller range of motion. There are many benefits of mobile chair massage.
While massage therapy soothes physical aches and pains, it also manages anxiety and depression that many of us have experienced at one time or another. The work environment can be full of fast-paced, demanding situations that could deplete one’s productivity and work efficiency. Massage decreases cortisol levels, a stress hormone, lowers blood pressure and increases the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine so that one feels happier and more relaxed. Also, massage can improve healthy sleep. Not only can a relaxing massage make one drowsy during the time the massage, but it promotes healthy patterns of regular sleep due to its effect on delta waves, the type of brain waves associated with deep sleep.
While massage soothes tense muscles, research also suggests that massage therapy improves the functioning of the body’s immune system. The results from one study conducted in 2010 suggested that massage could escalate the body’s white blood cells responsible for fighting disease. Not only can it boost the immune system, but some research has also implied that massage can deplete PMS symptoms, such as bloating and mood swings.
Another key benefit is massage’s effect on brainpower. We all know the lull that overtakes our brains after working in the office all day. A 1996 study conducted by the Touch Research Institute found that people were more alert and efficient after receiving a 15-minute chair massage. Also, a short massage can alleviate headaches and can considerably reduce a person’s amount of migraines and the level of pain experienced during a headache. In addition, massage can help people undergoing treatment for severe illnesses, such as cancer, because it can alleviate fatigue, pain, depression, and more in patients. Finally, massage can have beauty benefits that can make one look younger and more refreshed. The increased blood flow induced by massage therapy can add vitality to one’s skin and hair and can give a person a beautiful and rejuvenated glow.
There are many benefits to massage. With the stress of work and everyday life, massage might be just the thing that you need to feel relaxed and uplifted. It eases pain, improves health, boosts brainpower, and reduces stress and depression. A perfect pick-me-up during a tough workday, an on-site chair massage in your office could be a wonderful way to create a positive atmosphere and boost the productivity of employees.

Mobile chair massage offers spring renewal!
Spring is bursting with the first day of spring on March 20th, 2022! It is great to reset, refresh, and renew. Mobile chair massage offers spring renewal!
This is my favorite time of the year because the new season offers hope for renewal and the time to enjoy rebirth from the long and dark winter. With this sense of renewal, one often feels the inspiration to set new goals and boost our creative energies.
In preparing for this blog, I researched the topic of renewal of interest. It is defined as “an instance of resuming an activity or state after an interruption” AND “the replacing or repair of something that is worn out, run-down, or broken.”
With spring being a favorite time of year, I personally add extra projects to my TODO list as the result of clean, well-organized closets and a pollen-free screened-in porch are well worth the time and effort. I also try more outside activities to enjoy the sunshine while boosting my vitamin D levels. These new ideas and extra incentives offer me hope to enjoy the weather in the coming months.
What is broken and in “knead” of repair in your wellness activities? What new changes can bring maximum results for a new and improved you?
Keeping joyful and healthy during spring is vital to our overall health and well-being. As spring is time for renewal, it’s time to let go of things that no longer create joy or happiness. These can include relationships, frustrated emotions, or personal items that have lost their flare of interest.
Corporate on-site chair massage can bring wellness into your office with minimal cost while offering many great benefits.
Corporate Massage Kneads, YOUR on-site chair massage company in Maryland, received this testimonial.
I think this client sums it up best as this client writes of renewal and her review demonstrates how refreshed one can be following a great chair massage!
“I’ll tell you I wish it was longer. David did a wonderful job. I have issues with the neck and scapula muscle area. I feel so good this week. If I had that once a week I am pretty certain I would be pain-free in these areas after just a few visits. Sign me up for the next time he is here! Great guy too!”

Productivity and chair massage
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 of projects is typical 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.
Now is the time to consider a corporate wellness program that gives back to you and your co-workers in your office.
Offering a turn-key program allows for minimal stress with maximum results. The therapists offering services through Massage Kneads are licensed, certified, and insured with an average of 5+ years of chair massage therapy.
Corporate Massage Kneads’ 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 chair massage services. 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, three!
The other option, employee paid, is another also quite well received. Each employee pays for his/her chair massage through an online scheduler which secures their chosen time and date with payment online at the time of booking.
Here is a review from a local client in Maryland. As an employer, I would welcome reviews such as this one as it confirms the value of wellness in the work environment.

You Won’t Regret It “I am so happy you have returned to our Call Center. The staff is professional, friendly, knowledgeable.
