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 neck into an unnatural position, potentially straining muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, and spinal discs. Over time, this can reduce joint mobility and contribute to repetitive stress injuries associated with activities such as typing and prolonged screen use.¹

Scheduling an on-site chair massage wellness event can help! Mobile chair massage therapists from Corporate Massage Kneads are highly trained with an average of 5-7 years experience offering massage in the Maryland area. We frequently hear requests to address tension in the neck and shoulders caused by prolonged sitting, poor posture, and handheld device use. When these muscles are released through chair massage, clients often report improved range of motion, reduced tension, renewed energy, and increased productivity. Even a brief 10- or 15-minute session can help restore focus and leave individuals feeling refreshed and ready to continue their work day.

Simple movement throughout the day also makes a meaningful difference in combating the negative effects of sedentary work. Stretches, shoulder rolls, gentle torso twists, and short walks around the office can provide the reset the body needs to stay comfortable and focused while working through demanding tasks.

Simple movements and on-site corporate chair massage work hand in hand to support overall wellness in the workplace.

With spring break soon upon us, educators and parents will enjoy a well-deserved pause from early alarm clocks, packing school lunches, and managing complex schedules. Education professions can be exciting and rewarding, but can also be stressful.

Long days in the classroom can strain the back, shoulders, and neck. Sitting in a chair for most of the day isn’t easy and can also affect mood and energy levels. We all need relief from the physical and mental stress of our workload and there are simple ways to get the relief you’ve been “kneading”. (Inside tip: chair massage delivers exactly that!)

Simple Ways to Stay Healthy This Spring

Exercise
It may sound repetitive, but exercising three or more times a week (even in short bursts) can significantly reduce pain and stress while also boosting mood and mental clarity. Recommended exercises include:

• Back extensions
• Bridges
• Knee rolls

Completing just 10 reps of each daily can help reduce lower back pain and promote a clearer mind.

Healthy Diet
Eating three balanced meals a day supports both mood and energy levels, especially during long school days. One important rule: don’t skip breakfast. Breakfast fuels your brain, and skipping it can lead to brain fog and reduced productivity. Including protein in your morning meal helps sustain energy throughout the day.

Sleep
Sleep is arguably one of the most important factors in overall wellness. Unfortunately, most people don’t get an adequate amount of sleep. Studies show that high school students average 6–7 hours per night, nearly three hours less than recommended. Adequate sleep improves focus, mood, and cognitive performance, and trends show that students who sleep more often perform better academically.

On-Site Chair Massage: Stress Relief That Fits Your Day

Receiving a mobile chair massage is an excellent way to break up a mid-week slump. During a session, therapists focus on key stress areas, including:

• Trapezius muscles
• Neck muscles
• Rhomboid muscles

Working on these areas is essential for relieving tension and subsequently enhancing clarity and focus. Sessions typically last 10–30 minutes, making chair massage easy to fit between classes, meetings, and other daily responsibilities.

Your mobile chair massage specialist understands where stress is held in the body, and how to release it quickly so you can recharge and move through the week with confidence.

With the official start of the new season on March 20th, Spring is right around the corner despite this week’s cooler days! While it may not mean a lot for the average professional since we don’t typically get built in holidays this season like a Spring Break, Spring is still a great time to review and revitalize our schedules and work-life balance. One way to do this is by receiving a mobile chair massage to decrease stress and increase productivity!

Here are a few other helpful tips:

Taking some time off

As we all know, it’s important to use our vacation days and PTO to take care of ourselves and get the rest and recovery we need. Taking time off not only decreases stress but can improve your overall productivity when you return with a refreshed mind. Spring can be a great time to take vacation days that align with your kids during their spring break. Spring is a great time to renew your commitment to wellness, both in and out of the office.

Everybody “nose” how pollen can be

Spring allergies can severely affect not only your overall health but also your mood throughout the day.  Spring is a time when flowers are blooming, and pollen is in the air! Stock up on tissues, allergy medication, and make sure you get everything you need to fight back against runny noses and itchy eyes before the season gets into full swing. This goes for your children as well; make sure they have what they need to feel well and succeed in school during the pollen season. A clear schedule and nose can really help you out this Spring, and staying on top of your allergies will make your workday easier!

Schedule your Wellness Program by offering Mobile Chair Massage

One enjoyable way to combat work-related stress is with a mobile chair massage from Corporate Massage Kneads. Our trained and professional chair massage therapists can pinpoint tight and overworked muscles and help you to relax and reduce stress. On-site chair massage can increase energy, productivity, mental clarity, and improve your overall sense of well-being.

• Sweet Potato Pecan Casserole: For this traditional treat, replace the butter with sweet potatoes with eggs to keep the fluffiness without the fat. Garnish the top with pecans for a tasty and nutritious alternative to sugary toppings.
• Herb and Apple Stuffing: By using whole wheat bread instead of white bread and apples instead of fatty fillers, take the guilt out of eating a second portion on Thanksgiving Day.
• Apple Crisp: Throw out your apple pie recipe and replace it with this delicious, healthier alternative. Enjoy the sweetness of the brown sugar crumble without the fat of a buttery pie crust.
• Green Bean Casserole: Keep the tradition and the taste with this healthy rendition of your family’s favorite dish. Use low-fat milk instead of condensed soup to add your spice without all the calories!
• Herb Roasted Turkey: Your main course doesn’t need all of the butter you’re used to basting it with; instead, use olive oil and lots of yummy spices to add a little flair and natural flavor to your beautiful bird.

It’s that time of year when your family all comes together in one place. Wherever you end up meeting, whether it be your parents’ house or your own, everyone is coming from different locations. Some may be coming home from college, some from work, and many other places. No matter the place, it’s a special time of year, and everyone is together to celebrate with their loved ones. Office parties are in full swing with socials, along with a possible chair massage for your employees in a relaxed environment. 

Traditions take place during this time, and it’s important to spend time with your family. I’ve compiled a few tips for you to keep calm following the prep and work of the season upon us! 

Get your returns done early!

Online shopping and returns have never been easier! By pushing to get everything soon after the holiday, you will find that you aren’t as stressed going into the New Year and that you are much more relaxed. 

Sit back and relax!

Spending time with family during the holidays has been known to reduce your stress levels. So once the shopping and returns are out of the way, you’ll have time to kick back and enjoy the traditions that have always brought you joy over the years. Enjoying the decorated tree or holiday lights, the house will instantly drop the tension you may have. It is also imperative that you refrain from working from home during the holidays, as this is the time you should spend with your loved ones. Ensure that all work is completed on the job and that you prioritize your family.

Once everything stressful is out of the way and you’re snuggled up to the fire, you won’t feel stressed, and you’ll be able to enjoy the last holiday season with the ones you love the most. Drink some hot chocolate, indulge in a few cookies, and take in the season.  Remember that even if you’re done shopping for your friends and family, you can always give “back” to your coworkers.  (We do love a good pun!)

Escape. Experience. Enjoy.

With Thanksgiving fast approaching and December on the horizon, many companies are thinking of how to enjoy the holidays with local staff. There are lots of ways to brighten up the holiday parties: festive food, holiday music and decorations, and corporate chair massage.

This is the time of year that office parties kick into high gear, and potluck style office parties are frequent during the holiday season! Don’t let it stress you out, though, as I have a few good ideas for festive foods that I plan on sharing with you.

When making a meal for a party, you have to keep in mind a few basic facts. Many of your coworkers may have mentioned to you that they are dieting or that they are watching what they eat. This may be true, but it has been seen that many of them abandon this idea at east for the holidays. So make sure you are making a meal that is flavorful and fun, rather than bringing a meal that is only there to be a healthy option. Do not stress over what to make, because I have a list of some good potluck food ideas based on research and party favorites! 

• Deviled Eggs

There are many different ways you can prepare deviled eggs. Horseradish, green onion, and the list goes on, with many different combinations of flavor and style that you can incorporate. These small, yet flavorful snacks, will be a hit at the potluck, and there’s no doubt that you will go home without having to lug leftovers with you.

• Meatballs

Meatballs will always be the highlight of a party. They are a great addition to any party menu since they are small and easy to grab. The trick with this snack is that they have such a strong, wonderful aroma surrounding them, which makes them a hit. They are also super easy to prepare and cook!

• Pizza

Pizza is one item that allows you to be free from the hassle of cooking.  Most people typically like pizza!  Why knot” try out some new and different toppings? This adds a little “wow” factor, which could include pineapple, meat, and assorted veggies.  

• Jumbo Shrimp

Shrimp with cocktail sauce is an appetizer that most people rarely dine on since it can be a bit expensive, and most people aren’t preparing appetizers to go with their everyday dinners. Shrimp cocktail is super easy to prepare, but is a surefire way to impress others who don’t normally indulge in this favorite. While it may set you back a bit in terms of price, it will surely be well-received within your office. 

Now that you have a few ideas to help you plan out your next potluck dish, you should hopefully be a little less stressed going into the holiday season. Remember that these potlucks and parties are meant to help reduce stress and enjoy some time with your coworkers. Just like you, many of your coworkers have a lot on their shoulders as well. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy these times to celebrate wit your coworkers and get to know them a little better! It is also a great time to reconnect with those who work in your office or remote offices! 

Once the potlucks and parties are over and everyone is back to their usual schedules, you might want to invest in some additional stress relief this holiday season.

Corporate Massage Kneads, YOUR mobile chair massage company in Maryland, offers the perfect solution to celebrate the year-end while lowering stress AND increasing productivity!  With trained massage therapist professionals offering chair massage, the stress will melt away, and your staff will feel refreshed again heading into the New Year.

October is National Work and Family Month! This resolution has brought more awareness to create healthier and more flexible work environments since it was established in 2003. The aim of this campaign is to remind employers (and employees!) about the benefits and importance of work-life balance. Corporate wellness programs are designed to assist employees in choosing healthier behaviors, such as being more physically active, utilizing onsite services (like chair massage) to reduce stress, taking advantage of corporate concierge programs to make better use of work time, utilizing weight loss and nutrition programs, and more. These types of services contribute to the health of employees and ultimately create a healthier environment and contribute to the wellness of the entire workplace.

Companies are seeing firsthand how wellness/work-life programs enhance their employees’ well-being and increase work productivity. As small and large companies alike look for ways to reduce the impact of rising healthcare costs, more companies are being proactive to prevent chronic health concerns down the road. This can take the form of encouraging more exercise by tracking and rewarding steps with a pedometer, offering more comprehensive wellness programs (such as onsite corporate chair massage), offering nutritional and dietary resources during lunch,  offering fruits, vegetables, and other healthy snacks in the break room, and/or offering Corporate Concierge services so employees can pass along their errands and administrative tasks and focus on more important work.

Mobile chair massage is a great additional to your corporate wellness program. It has many benefits and is easy to schedule, run, and promote. Businesses reserve a (quiet) space within their office to allow employees to unwind and rejuvenate. Suggestions with space requirements can be viewed here!

We offer both employer and employee paid on site chair massage. With the help of online scheduling, each employee can book and pay for his/her massage at their preferred time during the day. Massage sessions typically run in 15 or 30-minute increments. Chair massage provides a wide range of benefits for full-time workers. We often receive testimonials of how much employees enjoy our services.

A client recently sent this review!

Enjoyed It So Much!  “Everyone loved it!  I enjoyed two chair massages! LOL! We are being asked to have you attend our quarterly meetings. They enjoyed it so much!  Looking forward to doing business with you in the future.”

With the rise in healthcare costs, companies are looking for ways to reduce the impact and save on overall costs. With corporations looking for ways to reduce the impact of rising health care rates, work/life and wellness programs help to offset these costs!

Looking for a workplace wellness program to come to YOUR office? It’s easy to contact us online to schedule a massage or wellness program in your workplace!

We hope to hear from you soon!

Don’t stress! I’ve compiled a list of things to help you adjust and get into the swing of the Fall work season.

Organization is key.

Making sure your workspace is neat and organized is such an important aspect of keeping yourself both positive and productive. Folders and Binders are helpful in keeping all of your information in one place, but there’s something that many people seem to be forgetting: Labels, Labels, Labels. I don’t know about you, but I do not want to be stuck looking through papers in a folder, trying to find that one paper. By making sure everything you own is organized with labels, you can eliminate this stress as a whole. You can go with simple labels, or use lots of subcategories, the possibilities are endless, whatever it takes to make sure you can find the thing you need as quickly as possible.

Save the date!

Time management is often the key to meeting deadlines. If you don’t already utilize a calendar, we highly recommend a weekly calendar with plenty of space on each workday. It’s important not just to keep track of work meetings, Zoom calls, conference calls, and big deadlines, but also smaller deadlines and milestones to keep you on track to meeting the larger ones. The more details, the better, so we recommend everything you must be informed of on that date. It’s also beneficial to include personal events on your work calendar, or keep your work calendar alongside your personal calendar, so you can effectively manage your time and your work life balance. Kids soccer game or doctors appt? Mark it down.

Keeping your work calendar on top of your calendar or in the same space will give you a better understanding of how your week is going. If you see that you have to be at your daughter’s dance recital at 7 on Tuesday and you have a big workload, you might want to put in the extra hours on Monday to ensure you can finish in time. Planning ahead will help you keep a clearer headspace, knowing that you won’t be missing out on anything. Whether your prefer a digital or written calendar is up to you and your preferences, and we recommend using whichever is going to be the easiest for you to use consistently.

Wellness

It is also in your best interest to put your personal wellness higher on your list of priorities. Make sure you aren’t letting your stress build up without a way to release the tension. Schedule your Fall wellness programs in the office NOW. YOUR premier chair massage company in Maryland, Corporate Massage Kneads, offers a turn-key chair massage program for your special event!

Mobile chair massage, chair yoga, meditation, and other wellness programs help to alleviate stress and enhance productivity. There are many additional benefits of mobile chair massage, including improved mental acuity and clarity, improved employee morale and job satisfaction, decreased pain and tension, decreased absenteeism due to stress-related illnesses, and an overall increase in positive workplace culture.

Corporate Massage Kneads hopes to see you BACK THIS FALL! With experienced and talented mobile chair massage therapists, we offer chair massage to your staff to help achieve your wellness goals!
