Have lower back pain? Try chair massage!
COVID still remains although the time at your desk has probably increased in hours based on all the news with employees working from home. What helps with the strain of sitting at a desk all day? Chair massage can help with correct posture and frequent breaks.
Anatomy of the body
The human body is designed to walk, stand and be active. Our bodies are designed to live an active lifestyle and yet many
do not regularly exercise. Many of us sit for prolonged periods of time. Excessive sitting can be linked to many aches and pains. We simply cannot be as active as we would like or should be during or outside of work hours.
The affect of prolonged sitting
Unfortunately for us, sitting for hours on end every day leads to a dramatic increase in tightness in our hip flexor muscles. As these muscles remain in a shortened state, tension points build up. If these tension points are not addressed, these points can lead to lower back pain.
Repeated muscular contraction can cause you to develop adhesions or spots of muscle tension known as trigger points. Mobile chair massage can often help release these trigger points to relieve lower back pain. The benefit of corporate chair massage is the lengthening of the shortened muscles that often pull on the lower back which in fact cause the pain.
However, if you do not have time to stay active during the workday, how will you find the time for a chair massage to release your trigger points?
Benefits of on-site chair massage
On-site chair massage provides a way to fit a massage into your everyday life–even during your lunch hour! Our mobile chair massage therapists understand the hectic life of an office employee and work around your schedule to provide you with the quickest relief possible. A licensed massage therapist will visit your office to massage your “problem areas” in order to decrease many years of neglect.
Corporate chair massage does not only aid in relieving lower back pain; on-site chair massage can be tailored to your individual trigger points leading to overall relief.
Just one appointment to experience corporate chair massage is enough to feel immediate and lasting relief for office employees and employers.
One of our clients said it best with this testimonial:
“Beyond my expectations. I was thinking you couldn’t get a good massage sitting down in 15 mins. Wow was I wrong about that!”
On-site corporate chair massage allows for even a short massage to work wonders for an employee’s back, providing relief and working towards greater productivity. Any doubts one may have can be taken away through an experience with corporate chair massage.
Give your back the attention and relaxation it deserves; schedule your corporate on-site chair massage program today by simply contacting me, Janet Constantino, CEO of Corporate Massage Kneads. I can be reached at 410-989-3577 or feel free to contact us here. I hope to hear from you soon!

Decrease stress with on-site chair massage
We all know it: stress is unhealthy, yet we experience it every day of our lives. Whether it be from our office jobs to kids or relationships, stress can come from almost any and every aspect of our lives. Not only does stress hurt your mental health, but it also affects your physical health. Massage therapists can help when offering mobile chair massage in YOUR office!
Stress causes your blood pressure to rise. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to stroke by damaging and weakening your brain’s blood vessels, causing them to narrow, rupture, or l
eak. High blood pressure can also cause blood clots to form in the arteries leading to your brain, blocking blood flow and potentially causing a stroke. High blood pressure can also lead to heart attack, heart disease, congestive heart failure, kidney damage, vision, and memory loss. These health issues are quite serious, yet they are also preventable.
Corporate chair massage can relieve you of the stress of everyday life and reduce your risk of developing one of these terrible health problems.
A recent study in the International Journal of Preventive Medicine concluded that massage therapy could serve as an effective intervention in controlling blood pressure in prehypertensive women
The researchers found that mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the massage group was significantly lower in comparison with the control group. The effects of massage lasted for up to 72 hours after treatment. The findings of the study indicated that massage therapy was a safe, effective, applicable, and cost-effective intervention in helping control blood pressure.
According to this study, an onsite chair massage can be an effective way to relieve stress and lower blood pressure in the convenience of your own office.
Our clients agree that our chair massages work to relieve stress with this pre-COVID testimonial:
“Great for relieving stress at the office. The therapist was great and gave personal attention to my aches and pains from a long weekend of yard work. Very friendly and experienced. I look forward to my next visit.” Corporate Employee
The benefits of corporate chair massage do not end at lowering high blood pressure. Corporate chair massage also works to relieve pain and increase productivity. Want to start a healthy wellness program within your office? Corporate chair massage is easy to schedule with employer OR employee-paid programs. Schedule your corporate on-site chair massage program today by simply contacting us, Janet Constantino, CEO of Corporate Massage Kneads. I can be reached at 410-989-3577!

May 11th is NATIONAL FOAM ROLLING DAY
My job is so interesting: week to week, clients of all shapes and sizes sign up for corporate chair massage. I am always so grateful for interesting and rewarding work while doing something I love.
I often get asked about sore muscles, exercising, stretching, and lately, I’ve been asked a lot about foam rollers. As you are well aware, chair massage can offer a lot of relief for tight upper body muscles (i.e. The trapezius, scapula, rhomboids, levator scapula, etc.) for the day-in and day-out tasks at the computer.
BUT…the problem still remains how to best offer the same relief for the glutes and legs! When offering table massage, I am continually reminded of how often the glute muscles are tight, short, and very tender when pressed with moderate to deeper pressure. When any muscle is not cared for, we often lose our flexibility, mobility, and functioning over the course of time.
What can help with this sluggishness? I hereby suggest the “foam-rolling” option for many reasons. This small investment to buy this type of tool allows you to gain maximum benefits.
The concept is simple. By applying the proper amount of pressure to the lower leg, IT band, and glute muscles, the foam roller can aid injured muscles in recovery and help assist them back to their normal functioning. I believe that a lot of long-distance runners (my sister, Linda, for one) benefit a “roll out” after each long run to restore and aid with healing.
Many gyms offer basic equipment and classes to allow access to all types of athletes. Why “knot” challenge yourself to get in this fabulous habit to maintain and restore your muscle health?
Creative thinking, daily commitment, and the placement of this valuable tool in your house would offer the reminder and help encourage you along. I personally keep the foam roller in view when watching TV or while stretching on a yoga mat. If the tool is handy, it’s more readily available and more often used.
Do you have a routine that you could incorporate a few additional minutes of stretching or rolling to MAXIMIZE your wellness efforts?
Writing of wellness, why “knot” contact Corporate Massage Kneads so we can help handle some of the heavy lifting! With sore muscles from long days, weeks, months, and years of desk AND computer work, Corporate Massage Kneads can help with tight and sore muscles.
Massage Kneads has many options for on-site chair massage whether it be an employee self-paid OR employer paid programs.
The benefits of chair massage are many as one client listed in this recent review.
