Chair massage can be the answer!
Client Receiving A Corporate Chair Massage
Summer lingers on although starting to fade as we begin to settle into the reality of what Fall will bring this year. The upcoming weeks are often referred to as some of the most stressful parts of the year, as well as the time of year when depression and anxiety rates soar. With the stressors of daily living, re-entry into your former life, extended family coming into town, traveling, daily cooking, and cleaning, it is no wonder why anxiety rates are through the roof as witnessed by some recent Olympic athletes. However, there is hope! Chair massage can be one answer!
A recent study has shown that Swedish Massage can aid in decreasing anxiety.
Two different Swedish massage studies both resulted in significant decreases in markers of anxiety among a group of healthy women, according to recent research.
The study, which compared the effects of two Swedish massage techniques on the vital signs and anxiety of healthy women, involved 20 healthy women. These subjects were randomly assigned to either a back, neck, and chest massage group or a leg, arm, and face massage group.
Study participants received three 30-minute massage sessions per week for four weeks during the first stage of the study, followed by a six-week washout period. Then, the women who were in the back, neck, and chest massage group were switched to the leg, arm, and face massage group and vice versa. Again, the subjects received three 30-minute massage sessions per week for four weeks during this second stage of the study.
The main outcome measures for this study were blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, and body temperature. In addition, the participants’ anxiety levels were measured before and after each massage therapy stage.
At the conclusion of the study, it was found that women in both massage groups exhibited a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure in the first stage. However, only those in the back, neck, and chest massage group showed a significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure as well. As for body temperature, this outcome measure showed a significant drop in the leg, arm, and face massage group in the first stage.
Pulse and respiratory rates decreased significantly among the women in both massage groups during the second stage.
The bodies of these women were relaxed by massage therapy, as shown by the drops in blood pressure and pulse. Most who receive massages would agree that massages relax the body.

What to wear during your corporate onsite chair massage!
Have you ever wondered what to wear for that special day in the office when there is a corporate on-site chair massage event scheduled? Every one of life’s occasions—weddings, football games, school events, etc.—has a style or protocol that we typically follow. Corporate chair massage is no different! Many clients have FAQs about their special event!
Massage wear is not to be overlooked, especially when a wellness program like chair massage is offered by your (wonderful) employer!
Some items clients should avoid wearing during your onsite chair massage:
- Glasses
- Name tags
- Thermal winter tops
- Hooded sweatshirts
- Jackets and/or coats
On the flip side, these articles of clothing are easy to work around in a corporate chair massage setting:
- Light knit tops
- Cotton shirts
- Shirts with lower collars
- Comfortable slacks
As time is of the essence, being at the chair massage location a few minutes early honors both the client’s and the therapist’s time. This avoids any last-minute stress of using the restroom, avoiding that buzzing cell phone and/or text, etc.
Once received by their chair massage therapist, it is possible that clients will complete a quick medical survey to update their therapist on their medical history. This includes listing any medications that the client is currently taking. Next, the therapist may inquire about the priority of areas to be massaged for maximum results and relief.
The corporate chair massage therapist will then lead the client onto the chair and promptly begin the session with soft music, minimal talking, and the proper pressure to allow for their maximum relaxation and reset time.
A fifteen or thirty-minute chair massage can be just the right amount of time for a chair massage to leave your desk and worries behind in order to feel invigorated with increased productivity, flexibility, and a decrease in stress which leads to lower anxiety and blood pressure. A win for all parties; employers and employees!

Chair massage at work pays dividends!
As the health of the American workforce spirals downward, one has to wonder: is the quality of work done decreasing along with it? The answer is simple: yes
. Unhealthy employees do not work to their full potential when they are not feeling their best. Many employers are starting to implement wellness programs like onsite chair massage events inside their businesses.
There are many benefits to making wellness a priority at your business. As healthcare costs continue to rise, many employers are turning to worksite wellness programs to counteract the expenses associated with an unhealthy workforce.
In addition to the cost of health insurance premiums, employers pay for unhealthy employees in the form of employee turnover, employee absenteeism, and presenteeism. Presenteeism is a word used to describe employees who may be present at work, but are not fully productive due to reasons such as physical or mental health barriers. Wellness programs have proved to be effective in increasing workers’ physical and mental health, therefore decreasing the amount of absenteeism and presenteeism from work.
Often small business owners and startups will assume that implementing wellness policies and programs at their worksites is not affordable or sustainable, but there are several low-cost initiatives that can be implemented.
One effective program to start is an on-site corporate chair massage program. Corporate chair massage has proved to make employees more productive, relaxed, and efficient at work. Starting an on-site chair massage program can also increase employee satisfaction with their jobs.
Work can be a major life stressor for employees and employers alike, but it doesn’t have to be. More employers are starting to recognize the benefits of stress-reduction initiatives. Staff who feel engaged and appreciated are more likely to stay long-term, reducing employee turnover. Corporate chair massage has been recognized as a stress-reduction tool, so giving employees an opportunity to receive massages at work can relieve stress and improve employee morale.
Investing in small steps to improve your employees’ health could pay big dividends when you are able to recruit and retain a high-quality, healthy workforce. On-site corporate chair massage is a great way to begin implementing wellness programs into the office.
Corporate chair massage is easy to schedule with employer OR employee-paid programs. Of course, employer-paid programs are better attended than employee-paid programs.Contact us for your corporate on-site chair massage program today by simply contacting me, Janet Constantino, CEO of Corporate Massage Kneads.

After COVID, enjoy a chair massage!
With summer starting up and COVID slowing down, it’s the perfect time to welcome your employees back with a mobile chair massage event!! We want to look and feel our best for the new season as we venture into
Why “knot” try a mobile chair massage?
the world again. It tends to be easier to make changes to our lifestyles at the beginning of summer rather than after the holidays during the bleak winter. We feel less stressed and more refreshed after the summer months rather than following the stressful holiday months.
Now that summer is here, stress is re-introduced to our lives following COVID which makes it the optimal time to “make that change!” On-site change massage programs decrease stress and are easy to implement in order to “make that change.”
At the beginning of September, gym attendance spikes, and the prices of healthy grocery store bills increase while restaurant bills fall. Implementing these healthy lifestyle changes is important, but fitness and clean eating are not the only ways to improve wellness. Those two habits are the most common lifestyle changes we tend to try first to be healthier and happier, yet most of the time, for some reason it is very hard to stick to these wellness choices. Also, these changes are sometimes very stressful to incorporate into our busy everyday lives.
There is quite a “knead” for a new wellness regimen this year, one that treats the soul as well as the body. Why not schedule a corporate chair massage now to welcome your staff back into the office?
On-site chair massage offers a variety of benefits.
Many clients seek massage services because of a few problem spots that “knead” to be worked through. Once these locations are tended to, clients feel renewed and productivity increases drastically–perfect for getting stuff done this new work season!
Chair massages do not necessarily “knead” to be a regular addition to one’s life; a one-time massage is better than no massage at all. Whatever massage regimen works for your schedule and budget, an on-site chair massage offers benefits to regulars and those who only receive massages on occasion.
Making time to have an appointment at a spa is tough, especially on a busy day when you cannot leave the office. With corporate on-site chair massage, you can fit an appointment into your lunch hour and go back to work feeling refreshed, renewed, and inspired.
Whether you need a stress-reliever during a tough work week or would like to make an addition to your wellness routine, corporate chair massage is worth a try!
Schedule your corporate on-site chair massage program today by simply contacting us! I hope to hear from you soon!

Chair massage helps with insomnia
An insomniac is described as a person who has trouble either falling asleep or staying asleep. Chair massage among other things can help with this situation. The prevalence of insomnia is staggering, with more than a third of adults suffering from occasional insomnia and a tenth of Americans experiencing chronic insomnia. Chronic insomnia is characterized as poor sleep every night or most nights for more than six months. This cycle can cause extreme fatigue, problems with concentration and can adversely affect a person’s mood and well-being.
The average American worker, with the daily stressors and responsibilities of the workday, cannot afford to lose sleep. A good night’s sleep is very closely linked to productivity and overall employee satisfaction.
There are many ways to treat insomnia. One viable option to help insomniacs is massage therapy. On-site corporate chair massage is one form of massage therapy that can work wonders for American workers.
The effect chair massage has on neurochemistry may provide a solid link between massage and insomnia treatment. Quite often employees benefit from this program as massage can aid the body in relaxation AND offer the same type of restful feeling similar to a quick “cat nap.”
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter responsible for one’s mood, behavior, body temperature, physical coordination, appetite and is necessary for a good night’s sleep. Corporate chair massage can directly influence the body’s production of serotonin. It has been proved that massage therapy reduces long-term pain and increases serotonin levels.
In addition to sleep being related to the serotonin levels in the brain, stress levels are also a key factor in determining the quality of sleep one gets. If one is stressed, it takes a lot longer for him to fall asleep than if he is relaxed. On-site corporate chair massage relieves stress.
One client in Silver Spring, Maryland updated Corporate Massage Kneads with her recent experience (pre-COVID) with this testimonial.
As one of our clients put it:
“I am so happy you have returned to our Call Center. The staff is professional, friendly, knowledgeable. If you have not tried their services, it is worth 10 minutes of your lunch or breaks to give them a try. You will not regret it.”
Wellness programs like chair massage offer a great start to helping workers get their insomnia under control. Those cured of insomnia find it easier to get a good night’s rest, which contributes to greater productivity and employee morale.
Massage and specifically mobile chair massage is a great choice to help the thousands of people that have insomnia. Because serotonin plays a role in sleep in multiple areas of the brain, an insomniac must seek ways to increase serotonin levels in order to win back lost sleep.
