Employees are working now more than EVER due to COVID. The office hours are blurry when managing our daily work schedule, kids at home, and the LONG “TO DO” list. Sadly, chair massage requests have decreased as employees are working from home for the time being.
The question remains on how to best incorporate movement to decrease prolonged hours of sitting at one’s desk. Sadly, many wellness programs that include on-site chair massage, yoga, Pilates, and fitness centers are not typically available with the current situation due to the COVID virus.
What are the other key activities that can help with wellness on a daily basis?
- Increased movement
- Healthier snacks (fruit, high protein snacks, etc.)
- Smart computer habits
- Soft relaxing music if enjoyed
- Stretching routinely during the day
- Increased water consumption
- Short breaks between tasks to bring more clarity and focus
Half of the battle would be to remember to get up and move around. Movement is the often the key here and here are some tips to remember to go just that – MOVE! Apple watches and cell phones both have settings that remind us to stand up and step away from that spreadsheet or project. Virtual yoga stretches, short exercise videos help to create new ways to enjoy exercise right in our own office and homes.
Corporate Massage Kneads continues to think of all that have had such drastic changes and hope that we can all dream of happier and more normal days to come.
**COVID update**
Corporate Massage Kneads will look forward to the day when we can offer corporate chair massage when safe for all parties AND when employees are back in the office.
WE miss you!
