Mobile chair massage and an active lifestyle have benefits!
A sedative lifestyle is not only boring—it’s also dangerous to your health. According to recent research, people who spend all day sitting at work are at risk for at least 35 diseases. These illnesses range from diabetes to osteoporosis to cancer. The good news is that even small amounts of activity make a big difference; just 10 minutes of walking restores all of the vasculature function in your legs reduced by 50%. Chair massage can minimize aches and pains on the shoulders, neck, and head!
Aside from avoiding diseases, here are some other benefits of an active lifestyle:
- Protects your future mobility. Regular exercise combats the weakening of your physical performance as you age. Cardiovascular fitness helps to increase your metabolism and improve your muscle health, which improves your overall fitness and health.
- Boosts your brainpower. Increased blood flow to the brain improves your brain’s ability to function.
- It improves lung function. Properly functioning lungs are attributed to people who have strong memories.
- Improves sleep. Exercise helps you fall asleep faster and get better quality sleep. This deep sleep helps your body to heal and renew itself.
- Bonus! Receiving chair massage aids to bring nutrients to the muscles which increase the range of motion to allow for increased physical activity. Employees that receive on-site chair massages write that they feel looser, less stressed, and energized following a massage session.
One client enjoyed her mobile chair massage and updated Corporate Massage Kneads with this testimonial. It demonstrates that mobile chair massage can make a difference!
5 STARS! Soothing to the body, mind, and soul
“Soothing to the body, mind, and soul. This was my 1st massage ever so I was a little unsure but David is so personable and has such an easy manner about him that I felt very comfortable. The conversation was easy and unforced and I left there feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I felt so great in fact that I immediately went and signed up for another massage! I have had 3 so far and intend to have many more.”

Six time management tips & chair massage to increase productivity!
Do you ever feel like there’s just too much to do in too little time? You’re not alone in feeling that way. Have no fear! Many small changes can make a BIG impact on your workweek. Wellness programs including mobile chair massage can calm the mind and body to tackle that never-ending “TO DO” list. Chair massage increases productivity EVERY DAY!
Here are some time management tips for those of us who feel that there are simply too few hours in the day:
- Schedule your days. It may seem tedious, but scheduling appointments even for your routine activities can help eliminate wasted time. Take a few minutes each morning to plan your meal times, your errands, and other tasks to prevent yourself from idly wasting time.
- Schedule time for interruptions. We’re all human; a lot of what we do doesn’t seem to go as planned. Leave buffer time in your schedule to allow for emergencies and appointments that go over their allotted time. Sometimes more time is necessary, and the excess time can help reduce your stress level.
- Create a list of extra tasks. If, by chance, you find that you’ve blocked too much excess time in your schedule, have a list of extra tasks ready. By tackling these in your excess time, you increase your productivity without the stress of a tightly-packed schedule!
- Learn to say “no.” Even though it was probably your first word as a child, “no” has become the hardest word for you to utter as an adult. Let’s face it: if you find yourself to be too busy, you’re probably spreading yourself too thin. Remember that you usually don’t want to sacrifice quality for quantity. Take a deep breath and say “no.” The world will carry on.
- Begin with the end in mind. Set SMART goals for yourself and continuously evaluate your progress toward them. If something’s not going as you hoped, change something.
- Stay away from perfectionism. While achieving goals is great, it needs to be balanced by results. Don’t use your inner perfectionist as an excuse to procrastinate. Be confident in yourself and don’t let one detail keep you from moving on.
Using your time wisely can help lower your stress. Massage Kneads can help with your low-stress wellness plan too!

“Desk jockey” & Chair massage!
Today’s office worker is more stationary than ever. With looming deadlines and poor posture, the modern-day American office worker is often complaining of a stiff and sore neck and back muscles.
According to “a study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Microsoft,…holding a tablet too low in your lap can force the muscles and bones in the neck into an unnatural posture, which may strain or aggravate other muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, and spinal discs. Over time, poor posture chips away at the range of motion in your joints. The neck problems described in the study above — and repetitive stress injuries from tasks such as typing — may occur, too.”[1]
Onsite chair massage therapists from Massage Kneads often get requests to rub (and fix) neck and shoulder stress due to poor posture, long hours at the computer, and using handheld phones. Once the neck and shoulder muscles are released by onsite mobile chair massage. The client benefits from chair massage by reporting a better range of motion, renewed energy and increased productivity! A quick 15- or 30-minute mobile chair massage can do wonders to get you back to feeling fresh and ready to tackle anything!
Engaging in simple activities such a shrugging your shoulders, twisting your torso, or taking a quick walk around the office building often gives the boost we “knead” to complete that big project or make that difficult follow-up phone call.
Stretching and onsite corporate chair massage go hand in hand for optimum health!

Chair Massage; the Best Gift in February
Photo by Maira Gallardo
Love, sweets, cards, encouragement, friends, family, significant others, and mounds of chocolate- all of these wonderful things point towards a special day of the year that is a celebration of love and care. It’s a holiday that encourages people to be positive- to think about the important people in their life and to view situations in a “half glass full” sort of way. Within the spirit of Valentine’s Day and the month of February, why not talk about what many love about a chair massage event in Maryland?
1. It’s a personal time for relaxation. Crazy schedules can have you running around 24/7 from one event to the next, always moving and never taking time to just sit. Massage is a great way to have some “me” time. Without this essential personal rest, you can wear yourself out and eventually collapse from exhaustion. Take the time that you need and deserve. Breathe, relax, and enjoy a massage that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and ready to tackle the rest of the day.
Many of our clients leave us little “love” reminders on our testimonial page!
“This is a great way to relax in the middle of the workday.” -Client of Massage Kneads following a mobile chair massage
2. It eases tense muscles. Cricks in your neck, tight knots in your shoulders, and overall muscle tension can often prevent you from performing physical or mental tasks to your best abilities. These inconveniences, while often overlooked and ignored, can often result in bigger problems if left unaddressed and unresolved. Plus, they can feel terrible and can put a large damper on what would be a pleasant day/week/month. Don’t let your sore muscles remain in pain. Treat yourself, love your body, and take care of yourself.
“The massage I had was wonderful. Afterward, I felt like a new person. No more tense shoulders and neck.” –Corporate Client explaining the benefits of the chair massage!
3. It increases productivity and ultimately boosts brainpower. Imagine that you’re sitting in an office, grinding away at all of the difficult work that you have to complete. As the hours tick by, your efficiency and level of work wane. While a massage feels great, it can also improve mental functioning and can amplify the thinking processes needed for work and daily life. Sure- it sounds great and can be a wonderful break from a stressful day. But massage can also be a work-related necessity that could make the ultimate difference in whether your work is “okay” or “extraordinary.”
“This was by far the best part of my day. The massage was relaxing and I felt more productive the rest of the day.” –Corporate Client reviewing corporate chair massage by a therapist in Maryland with Massage Kneads
During this season of love, make sure that you take care of your body and give yourself the attention that you deserve. Also, treat your friends, co-workers, or employees to a massage that could boost work morale and increase productivity. Show them the love that they need to stay efficient, encouraged, and happy to be at work. Make sure that you let the people in your life know how much they mean to you, and treat yourself- what better gift to give than a massage?

Request mobile chair massage for wellness in 2020!
In attempting to start the new year off right and keep my exercise routine alive, I ventured to the local gym which opened back up following the holiday. One of my New Year’s resolutions was to change my gym experience a bit: I was going to start going to group classes instead of just the same old individual machines. When offering chair massage on a routine basis, I find that I “knead” more strength!
Imagine the disappointment I felt when I was not able to take my desired new exercise class due to no vacant parking spaces AND the volume of those other gym-goers that planned further ahead. With firm resolve, I opted for the other equipment I usually use and made the most of the time that was available and scheduled for daily exercise.
Does this ring true with your wellness plans? Have you had to “make do” in the past with the same old, same old ideas, routines, or otherwise?
January is generally the time of the year that companies such as Massage Kneads, Maryland’s mobile chair massage company, receive MANY requests for licensed, certified massage therapists ONSITE to offer mobile chair massage.
Many corporate clients have renewed energy and a new focus to bring fresh programs like corporate chair massage, chair yoga, and exercise options to support employee wellness throughout the year.
Some other ideas to include with our resolutions include building a focus word that fits your plans for the New Year. Themes could include kindness, growth, opportunity, etc. By choosing a focus word, the actions can be broad-based and allow for flexibility in working through goals for a new year AND a new you!
So, I ask – what are your plans and desires to bring wellness into your personal and work life? Massage Kneads can tailor a program that is both reasonable in cost and time spent and still brings BIG dividends for increased morale and productivity and possible relief from the “holiday blues” to name a few. The benefits are endless!
