Memphis roots · Nationwide care

Built to bring well-being closer.

Samuel Nelson turned a career in massage therapy into a company that helps organizations bring calm, restorative moments directly into the workday.

Founder and CEO

From licensed therapist to nationwide operator.

Samuel Nelson began working as a licensed massage therapist in 2003. What started as one person serving clients in Memphis grew into Massage on the Go: a corporate wellness company that coordinates on-site chair massage for organizations across the country.

Sam still approaches the business with a therapist’s point of view. The service should feel personal for the guest and straightforward for the person organizing it. Massage on the Go brings the professionals, equipment, and coordination into offices, conferences, and employee events so teams can pause without leaving the workday behind.

Rooted in community

Business growth that reaches back home.

Sam’s work extends beyond Massage on the Go. In Orange Mound, the Memphis community where he grew up, he has organized free public-speaking seminars focused on business planning and building viable companies.

He has also shared small-business lessons through podcasts and mentoring, helping neighborhood young people see entrepreneurship as something close enough to pursue.
