I Knead It

Urban Kneads

Number of hours your butt’s stuck at work: ten. Number of hours since various body parts have seized up, gone numb: way more than ten.

With zero time to treat your aching self to a massage, you’ll need to speed dial a masseuse to come to you.

3000 B.C. veteran Lilla Wescott has just launched Urban Kneads, a massage service targeting weary Center City office toilers. Choose from 30-minute sessions of Indian Head Massage; Leg and Foot Treatment; or Shoulder, Arm, and Hand Health. Wescott uses all-natural products (locally made Ellen’s Epiphany) and performs trigger-point therapy, kneading, and stretching techniques while you’re fully clothed at your desk.

Wescott and her massage transit service staff also do holiday office parties (note to boss: hint, hint).

Time it takes to feel relaxed at work: way less than you’d think.
