It's hard to believe it's been so long, but in other ways it feels like I just got started. It makes me think of the 7 year itch. It doesn't seem to apply to work though, I'm quite content! I'm also celebrating my 5th year in my office. Spencerport has been a great place for me to grow my practice. I am grateful to have such a supportive community that embraced massage therapy. As I write this, I believe we are about 6 or 7 strong in our little community. Almost as many as there are pizza places! <br /><br />As far as massage goes, there is really no person who couldn't benefit. Massage helps so many people is so many ways. Having an injury is a good excuse to get a massage. You can justify it in your mind that its a necessity. An even better reason to get a massage is that it helps. At the very least it reduces stress which is running rampant. That leads to headaches, aches and pains, insomnia, depression and much more. Why not do your part in keeping yourself healthy and get a massage. You need time to recharge. It's amazing how different you can feel with just an hour of laying down in the middle of the day...or at the end of the day (that's my favorite!) Massage can do wonders for you physically, emotionally and mentally. It's one of the easiest things you can do to keep yourself well. Besides, its a nice way to pamper yourself too. You know you deserve it!<br /><br />So help me celebrate my 5th & 7th anniversaries and go get yourself a massage. You'll be happy you did!
