Keep colds away with a massage.

If you receive a massage on a regular basis you actually help your body fight infection. New research has proven that people who get regular massage have a stronger immune system.
Massage increases the activity of white blood cells, which target and destroy infectious agents. With regular massage, your immune system is strengthened, rather than stimulated and becomes much more robust. Massage therapy has made a vast improvement in the lives of many HIV infected patients. Today, massage therapy is regarded as a restorative type of therapy.

Do you get headaches?

Suffer from headaches? Before you raid the medicine cabinet consider scheduling a massage. As there are different types of headaches you should discuss the types of headaches that you suffer from with your massage therapist to ensure that he or she chooses the best type of massage for your situation. Stress and tension headaches may respond best to aromatherapy massage however a headache that is the result of a pinched nerve may be best treated with deep tissue massage. Your massage therapist is best qualified to determine which type of massage will be of the most benefit so it is important to discuss all of your concerns or questions during your interview.

Do you have a medical condition that keeps you house bound?

Our customers sometimes can't leave the house due to medical conditions. That's why they love our mobile spa services. One of our loyal customers is Marianne. She has Cerebral Palsy. Her favorite spa treatment is a facial. We set up in her bedroom and turn it into her very own spa. We play relaxing music of her choice and burn aromatherapy candles. Her caregiver lifts her onto the massage table.
Both of her daughters (who live out of state) found us on line. Unable to visit as often as they wish they could, Sue and Mary were in search of an in home service to pamper their mom.
Their main concern was that we were familiar with Marianne's condition. Once we reassured them that we have medical experience they booked our service and continue to do so every month. We always take a picture at the end of the service with Marianne smiling and send it to the daughters!
