Don’t Stress; Relax with more chair massage
Photo by Alicia Jones
While many people recognize that stress can be detrimental to one’s health, it can also potentially lead to more severe issues than the commonly known results of stress: including sleep irregularity, irritability, and headaches. Stress affects us both physically and emotionally, and can even have long term effects. For this reason, many individuals as well as companies have opted for wellness programs such as chair massage, yoga, and walking clubs to minimize the effects of stress.
Laughter, an amazing medicine for “the blues,” can not only make us feel better but can also significantly reduce stress and mental strain. Laughter can also boost your immune system and help diminish pain WHILE boosting your mood. Laughter can actually help us feel physically better as well as emotionally better.
By seeking out positive situations of relaxation that are conducive to laughter, you can significantly reduce stress in your life and improve your health (while also working against a common precursor to cardiovascular disease). So, go attend a funny movie, get lunch with some hilarious friends, and find ways to relax at work (especially when the environment is experiencing a particularly stressful season). Laugh it off – it’ll do you a world of good!
If you’re looking for a way to relax and create a less-stressful environment upon your return to YOUR office, we would love to serve your health and wellness “kneads.”

Post work out recovery with chair massage
When getting back into the swing of exercise, it’s important to take note of how your body is responding your workouts. Many people experience soreness when jumping into a more intense exercise routine or just
starting back up after a break. This is completely normal and happens to most people, however, it can be a real pain in the neck (or back). Sore spots on the body can cause complications throughout the day that can make everything feel harder to accomplish. Chair massage can ease muscle pain, relieve back pain, AND increase your productivity!
Have a sore lower back? This can especially cause issues when you’re sitting at your desk during work hours. Trying to focus on your work can feel like a hassle with a constant pain in your lower back. Do you have pain in your legs or arms? This can be exacerbated when moving around or standing for too long, or by lifting or carrying heavy objects. You may try to ignore these annoying pains throughout the day, but chances are they will still bother you as you go about your work day.
The Best Solution
When your muscles feel tender and sore, the best solution to help ease that soreness is actually more exercise. That being said, it is not the best idea to complete intense workouts when you have soreness, but instead engaging in light workouts to help your muscles recover, such as stretching, yoga, or swimming. These will help ease your muscles soreness and should reduce some of the tenderness as well.
Yes, it is actually possible to help alleviate some of the soreness from a new workout. Experts say by that staying hydrated before, during, and after the workout you are already taking an important step to reduce the pain later on. Other helpful ideas include eating a healthy diet that is high in complex carbohydrates and protein. Eating high protein and carbohydrate meals before and after your workout will help give your muscles the energy it needs to heal.
Wellness programs like chair massage aid in recovery
Coming to work and experiencing sore muscles can put a damper on your productivity for the day. This can then lower your overall mood, and possibly even cause you to run late for deadlines and struggle to get your work done. The quickest way to help ease the pain of sore muscles and return more of your productivity is with a mobile chair massage from Corporate Massage Kneads. With experts who are trained in helping reduce problem pain areas and decrease stress, you’ll be feeling better in no time.

May I have a chair massage? Exams are coming…
It’s officially June! This is the month of the year when many students are stressed out. Whether you’re in college and have finals this first week of June, or you’re a night student with a full-time job who is getting ready for your exams, it’s a rough time for everyone. Being a parent of stressed-out students can also be tough, so I’ve come up with a few ideas you may want to incorporate to help relieve some of the daily school stress your household may be experiencing.
Comfort Food
With exams, projects, and finals on the back of their minds constantly, many students forget to eat properly, which can lead to health issues and a lack of sufficient nutrients. The best way to combat a lack of eating or eating too much junk food is to prepare small snacks and meals that are tasty and considered “comfort food,” but also contain important nutrients. Ideal snacks include chips with hummus or guacamole, fruit salad, smoothies, peanut butter and banana pitas, and chicken wraps.
Peanut butter and banana pita wraps were one of my favorite snacks growing up and are fun, tasty, easy to make, and can give you a quick boost of energy and make you less hungry throughout the day. Feel free to jazz it up by adding granola, honey, or blueberries into the mix. Chips with hummus, fresh salsa, or guacamole, can also be good in moderation. For an even healthier snack, consider substituting chips with baby carrots, celery, or cucumber slices to help reduce calorie intake. A small snack like this can go a long way and is also very flavorful.
Sleep Routine
It’s not just about getting enough sleep at night. While that is one very important aspect of being focused and doing well in your studies, it isn’t the only thing that helps promote healthy sleep. It’s easy to forget or ignore health routines when we are feeling stressed. It’s important to take the time for self care – to wash your face, take showers regularly, or even have a warm bath before bed.
Set your students up for success, maybe treating them (or yourself) with a few products like face masks, bath bombs, and lotions to help them relieve stress through self care. Lush sells all-natural, fresh face masks that have active ingredients and essential oils meant to help reduce stress and have the added benefits of being great for your skin.
We know you want to help your student out with whatever they may need, but doing so can also stress you out in the process. Make sure as a parent you put yourself first as well and give yourself time to relax. Productivity on the job can suffer if you focus too much on how your kids are doing. Be there for them if “kneaded”, but be there for yourself too.

Give thanks for Memorial Day
Corporate Massage Kneads is grateful for and remembers all those who gave their lives for our freedom.

Beyond the cookouts and unofficial start to summer, Memorial Day is a solemn reminder of the cost of freedom and a chance for us to express gratitude for those who gave everything for their country.
Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a U.S. federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Originally known as Decoration Day, it began after the Civil War as a way to commemorate Union and Confederate soldiers who lost their lives. Over time, it evolved into a broader tribute to all American military personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice.
The day is marked by various traditions, including placing flags and flowers on graves, holding parades, and observing moments of silence. Many people also take the long weekend as an opportunity to spend time with family and friends, reflecting on the freedoms made possible by those who served.
Chair massage helps with summer travel!
Ever consider enjoying a chair massage before you travel? Traveling and exploring the world can be a fun and exciting experience. However, traveling can also be filled with new stressors and situations that can leave you feeling very disoriented, tense, and less able to fully enjoy your experience in a new place after suffering the effects of transportation. Fortunately, chair massage has become much more widely available in airports, train stations, malls, etc.

I have recently traveled and personally experienced a lot of the negative effects of long plane rides, jet lag, tense muscles, and overall discomfort. There is nothing that I want more than to relax and soothe my strained muscles, especially on vacation. Believe it or not, massage can be a wonderful and extremely beneficial treatment for the stresses of traveling. Car rides, train rides, bus transport, travel by boat, and plane are a few of the many modes of transportation through which travelers can voyage. All of these can include cramped spaces, long hours without moving, overall fatigue, and other discomforts. Plane rides, especially, can leave travelers feeling exhausted, stressed, and extremely jet-lagged. As travel increases and more people experience the stressful problems associated with transportation, it’s important to address the common issues of cramping, anxiety, and exhaustion when you decide to go on your next vacation, world travel, or other exciting venture.
Air travel in particular has become even more popular in recent years and can often produce some of the worst consequences, such as jet lag, disorientation, exhaustion, and tension. The first way that massage can greatly improve your condition after plane travel is by improving your sleep, especially if you are in a situation where you change time zones. The number of time zones that an individual travels through increases the length of jet lag symptoms, and considerable differences in time zones can cause travelers to experience disorientation as they try to adjust to a new environment and schedule. Travelers can also suffer from fatigue, insomnia, headaches, swelling, lack of concentration, and memory issues. To improve the chances of avoiding these side effects, look into getting a massage upon reaching your destination. Not only will this make you overall more relaxed, but it can also decrease swelling in your limbs, ease tense muscles, and overall decrease the amount of stress that is associated with traveling.
One of the most difficult things about arriving in a new place, especially in another country, is adjusting to a new lifestyle, time zone, a diverse environment, different food, etc. Traveling is not always easy, nor is it entirely peaceful and fun as we hope it to be. Instead, it can be filled with high-stress situations. I know that I would love a massage after arriving in my new destination, and I would highly recommend that you look into increasing your relaxation, improving your sleep pattern, and relieving stress and tense muscles through a post-travel massage the next time that you decide to voyage to a new destination.

Experience renewal as you spring into chair massage!

Spring is a time of renewal and hope! Now is the time to think about making changes that will allow you to shift old habits into new, productive ones! The same routine day in and day out can get tiring, especially when it comes to your workday. After you’ve spent some time in your current role, you may begin to feel unmotivated and less interested in your job. This is completely normal feeling and something that many workers struggle with, so don’t worry, you’re not alone. This feeling is often a combination of feeling disinterested, uninspired, and unmotivated. When employees have these feelings, productivity for their entire department can plummet. Without everyone putting in their best effort, the amount of work that gets done decreases.
Chair massage in your office can help to alleviate these feelings, lower your stress, and enhance your productivity! Here are some other ideas of small changes you can make to help combat feelings of apathy and lack of motivation in the workplace:
Try new things!
It has been shown that formulating new ideas and trying out new methods in the workplace can help get you back on track and increase interest and enthusiasm in your work. If you are feeling stuck doing the same thing every day, having a new adventure to embark on encourages and empowers you to feel more creative and in control. With these heightened creativity levels, you’ll be more motivated to put effort into your other projects as well. Ultimately, you’ll feel more interested and excited when thinking about work, because flexing your creative muscles and challenging yourself to think and implement strategies that are different your previous routine.
Express your skills!
Each person is uniquely different, and everyone has their own individual set of skills. Some of us are amazing at planning, others at design, and some of us are made to be leaders. Regardless of what position we are in, it’s important to make sure we’re using our skills to our advantage. When you’re working within your personal skill set, your job becomes more purposeful and you become more motivated to take on work that expresses those skills. While many people can tolerate working in different roles, it feels empowering and exciting to be able to express yourself in a role that fits your skill set. You’ll feel better about the work you’re doing and have more inspiration to complete your projects.
It’s important to also find your drive when it comes to working. You can’t expect to be instantly invested in a subject you’re working on, you have to find the angle that allows you to feel interested and driven forwards. By expressing your skills and experimenting with different types of projects, you’ll gain new motivation and confidence in your job. This can increase your own productivity, as well as positively impact the productivity of your workplace as a whole. With productivity levels at an all-time high, you have an opportunity to rest and relax between projects. With these tips, you should find it easier to meet deadlines, and your overall stress levels should decrease considerably.
